GEORGE S. WATERHOUSE, Banker. George S. Waterhouse, member of a kamaaina 
family and cashier of the Bank of Bishop & Co., Ltd., has been associated with 
the development of Honolulu’s financial system for twenty-five years.

Jr., and Elizabeth B. (Pinder) Waterhouse. He attended Punahou School in 
Honolulu and was graduated from Princeton University with an A. B. degree in

  Mr. Waterhouse started his business career in Honolulu in 1898, entering the 
employ of the pioneer firm of J. T. Waterhouse as a clerk. Mr. Waterhouse’s 
father, John Thomas Waterhouse, Jr., came to Hawaii when a youth with his 
father, J. T. Waterhouse, Sr., arriving from Tasmania in 1851. A general 
mercantile business was established in quarters on Queen St., near Nuuanu, by 
the elder Waterhouse under his own name, was later directed by his son and for 
almost half a century the Waterhouse firm was one of the principal concerns of 
the kind in the islands. For many years a retail branch of the Waterhouse 
business was conducted at the famous old store known as “No. 10 Fort Street.” 
John T. Waterhouse, Jr., attended the old Royal School in Honolulu and in 
later years was as prominent in public affairs as he was as a business leader, 
having served on the Privy Council in the days of the Hawaiian Monarchy. He 
was also a member of the Board of Health. George Waterhouse continued with the 
long established firm of his father and grandfather until its amalgamation 
with Henry May & Co., in 1899. He worked for the Pacific Brass Foundry from 
July, 1899, to Oct., 1900.
  Mr. Waterhouse joined Bishop & Co., as the bank was then designated, in 
1900, continuing until Dec. 31, 1916, when he became identified with the 
Guardian Trust Co., Ltd., where he remained from Jan. 1, 1917, until Sept., 
1918, serving as assistant treasurer. He then returned to Bishop & Co., and 
was appointed cashier of the Bank of Bishop, Ltd., on Jan. 2, 1919, when 
Bishop & Co., the oldest bank in the Territory, was incorporated.

July 17, 1901. They have one son, George Shadford Waterhouse, Jr. Mr.
