VICTOR COTTA SCHOENBERG, Banker. A long line of seafaring ancestors were 
responsible for the early call to the sea of Victor C. Schoenberg, now a well-
known bank organizer and manager and cashier of the Waipahu branch of the Bank 
of Hawaii, Ltd.
  At the completion of his education in the Hambro School and College and the 
Bergen Commercial College at Bergen, Norway, Mr. Schoenberg began his world 
travels and reached Hawaii in Aug., 1906, as an officer on a Norwegian 
steamship.
  He remained here to accept a position in a mill at Makaweli, Kauai. Later he 
removed to Waimea, Kauai, where he was acting postmaster for a short time. 
From 1907 to 1909 he was bookkeeper for the Lahaina branch of H. Hackfeld & 
Co., and for the next seven years was manager of the Lahaina National Bank, 
Lahaina, Maui, going to the Waipahu branch of the Bank of Hawaii, Ltd., in 
1918, as manager and cashier, a position he still occupies.
  Mr. Schoenberg has specialized in country and branch bank organization. He 
organized and developed the Pearl Harbor branch of the Bank of Hawaii, Ltd., 
in 1921, with a collection office at Aiea, which he managed for a year in 
conjunction with the Waipahu branch and a collection office at Wahiawa.
  He served as clerk of the Circuit Court, second circuit, at Wailuku, Maui, 
for several years as the appointee of Judge W. S. Edings. He is a second 
lieutenant of Company B, third regiment of the National Guard of Hawaii. Mr. 
Schoenberg holds memberships in Knights of Pythias, the Maui Chamber of 
Commerce and the Honolulu Automobile Club.
  He was born at Bergen, Norway, Dec. 5, 1885, the son of Frederik Christian 
Torp and Edle Margaret (Holm-Brock) Schoenberg. In 1910 he married Jennie 
Wilhelmina Hansen and they have two sons, Erling and Eyvinn Schoenberg.
