FRANK EDWARD THOMPSON, Attorney. A youthful veteran of the Spanish-American 
war, searching for opportunity in a new land, came to Honolulu in April, 1900, 
rapidly rose to the top of his profession and for more than 20 years has been 
a leader of the Territorial bar. The foregoing is a brief outline of the 
career of Frank E. Thompson, head of the law firm of Thompson, Cathcart & 
Beebe.
  While still on the mainland Mr. Thompson heard of the opportunities offered 
by the then new American Territory of Hawaii from a friend, R. D. Silliman, 
formerly a judge in the local courts. Upon his arrival here Mr. Thompson was 
immediately admitted to the practice of law and formed a partnership with the 
late Judge A. S. Humphreys. He later became a member of the law firm of 
Thompson and Clemons, which became Thompson and Cathcart, and is now Thompson, 
Cathcart and Beebe.
  Mr. Thompson was born in Duluth, Minnesota, Aug. 16, 1875, the son of 
Captain William A. Thompson and Caroline (Anderson) Thompson. He was educated 
in the public schools of Minnesota, and attended the Chicago College of Law, 
at Chicago, from 1896 to 1898, when the Spanish-American war broke out.
  Enlisting as a volunteer in a Minnesota regiment, Mr. Thompson served until 
the end of the war, and then came to Hawaii. He married Alice Roth of 
Honolulu, June 20, 1910. Mr. Thompson’s children are Frank E., Jr.; Barbara, 
Alice Anita and William Roth Thompson.
  Mr. Thompson is an ardent sportsman, being interested in the activities of 
the Hawaii Polo and Racing Club, of which he is a member. He was elected 
president of the Pacific Club in 1924, and has twice been president of the Bar 
Association of Hawaii.
  He is also a member of the Commercial and Oahu Country clubs, Ad Club and 
the Chamber of Commerce. He was formerly district deputy of the Elks, is a 
past master of Hawaiian Lodge, No. 21, F. & A. M., and a Shriner.
