JAMES FRANK WOODS, Rancher. A business and political leader of Hawaii, James 
Frank Woods has been a factor in the development of the agricultural resources 
of the Territory and has been actively identified with the Democratic party on 
the Island of Hawaii. Heir to extensive holdings on Hawaii, where his father 
settled in the early 60’s, Mr. Woods is known as a rancher, importer and 
breeder of full-blooded Hereford cattle. He recently launched a pineapple 
growing and cannery enterprise at Kohala, Hawaii, where fruit of 
extraordinarily high quality is being produced. He is president of the Kohala 
Pineapple Co., Ltd., the Kohala Ranch Co., Ltd., and is owner of the Kahu’a 
cattle ranch, Kohala.
  Interested in politics since 1900, when he was elected a supervisor for the 
county of Hawaii, an office he held for eight years, Mr. Woods was elected to 
the territorial senate in 1913 to fill a vacancy. He was a Democratic nominee 
for the senate in 1924.
  Born on the Island of Hawaii, Nov. 16, 1875, Mr. Woods is the son of James 
and Mary Parker Woods. His father was a well known pioneer sugar planter of 
Hawaii. He attended the old Atkinson and Fort Street schools in Honolulu. In 
the late 90’s Mr. Woods was in charge of the Hue-Hue ranch at Kona, Hawaii.
  Mr. Woods and Eva K. Parker (deceased) were married in 1898. He married the 
Princess Elizabeth Kalanianaole, widow of the late Prince Jonah Kuhio 
Kalanianaole, Dec. 18, 1923. Mr. and Mrs. Woods divide their time between Oahu 
and the Island of Hawaii, maintaining residences on both islands. Mr. Woods is 
a Mason, Shriner and a member of the Pacific Club of Honolulu.
