ALBERT ANDREW WILSON, Engineer. As a railroad constructor, general contractor 
and engineer, Albert A. Wilson, manager of the Wahiawa Water Co., Ltd., has 
long been actively engaged as a builder on Oahu and all the other islands of 
Hawaii.
  Coming to Hawaii in September, 1897, he joined the engineering staff of the 
Oahu Railway & Land Co., which was then extending its line to Waialua and 
Kahuku.
  In 1899 he entered the general contracting business, which he followed 
successfully for sixteen years, until he assumed his present responsible post 
in 1915. While contracting he was associated with a number of important 
projects, including railroad, ditch and dam building for the Waialua 
Agricultural Co., the Wahiawa branch of the Oahu railway, the Hilo railroad, 
the Hawaii belt road, the Waiahole ditch and tunnel, and other private, 
territorial and county works.
  Mr. Wilson has been district road overseer and district fire warden for the 
Wahiawa district since 1918 as a “dollar a year man.” He is a member of the 
Honolulu Automobile Club.
  Born at Pescadero, San Mateo County, Calif., Mr. Wilson attended grammar 
school and Heald’s Business College in San Francisco. On Oct. 1, 1909, he 
married Nellie Beatrice Baker at Hilo, Hawaii. They have one child, James 
Baker Wilson.
