EDWARD H. F. WOLTER, Builder and Realtor. One of the military officers who 
helped Hawaii in the stirring closing years of the 19th century, during the 
Revolutionary period, Edward H. F. Wolter is now active in the commercial life 
of the territory as a builder and real estate operator.
  He capped his military career by aiding in obtaining annexation to the 
United States for the islands.
  Born on Feb. 22, 1854, at Sprackensehl, Provinz Hanover, Mr. Wolter is the 
son of Jurgen H. C. and Sophia M. E. Wolter. He obtained his education in the 
schools of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, and arrived in Honolulu on Oct. 7, 
1881, acquiring a part ownership in Olowalu sugar plantation. From 1882 to 
1885 he served as a plantation overseer.
  He accepted a position as hotel manager in 1885 and resigned in 1913, after 
almost thirty years of service, to enter the building and real estate 
business, in which he still is engaged. He also has served as a supervisor for 
the city and county of Honolulu.
  His career as a military officer in Hawaii began during the reign of King 
Kalakaua and was continued through the regime of Queen Liliuokalani, the 
Republic of Hawaii under President Dole and latterly in the National Guard of 
Hawaii, in the 298th U. S. Infantry.
  Mr. Wolter has been vice-president of the Pioneer Building & Loan 
Association for many years. He also is a member of the Ad Club of Honolulu and 
the Chamber of Commerce and is active in fraternal work.
  He married Bertha Miller on Sept. 2, 1874, and they have two children, 
Eloise W. E. and Diana M. B.
