JOSEPH ARTHUR VERRET, Agriculturist and Chemist. Two years’ supervision over 
the experimental fields and mill of the Audubon Sugar School, New Orleans, 
preceded Joseph A. Verret’s arrival in Hawaii as a mill chemist, which led 
eventually to his appointment as agriculturist for the experiment station of 
the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Association, his present position.
  Born on April 10, 1881, at New Iberia, La., to Jules Germain and Josephine 
(Trahan) Verret, his early education was obtained in private and public 
schools and he was awarded the degree of B.S. by the University of Louisiana.
  After being in charge of the Audubon school fields and mill for two years he 
accepted a position as mill chemist for the Honolulu Plantation, arriving her 
in Jan., 1906. After a decade of service on that plantation he was appointed 
associate agriculturist by the sugar planters’ association and later was 
advanced to the position of agriculturist. Mr. Verret is president of the 
Kaimuki Improvement Club and is chairman for Hawaii of the International Sugar 
Technologists’ Association.
  He is a member of the Elks, the Pan-Pacific Club and the Kappa Sigma 
national fraternity. He married Marie Bernadine McDonough on Oct. 10, 1906. 
They have two children, Kuulei Anna, and Joseph Arthur Verret.
