educator, removal to Hawaii less than ten years ago brought J. F. Woolley to 
his present positions as assistant manager of the Koolau Agricultural Co.,

E. and Alice (Rowberry) Woolley. His father for many years was head of the 
Latter Day Saints’ Mission in Hawaii, in which position he was largely 
responsible for the remarkable development of the Mormon colony at Laie, where 
he achieved success in a movement to return the Hawaiians to their native 
soil, and where he was instrumental in having constructed the famous Mormon 
Temple, one of the most beautiful buildings in America.
  Mr. Woolley was graduated from the Utah Agricultural College with the degree 
of B.S. in agriculture, in 1916. For a year he taught agriculture at the 
Monroe, Utah, High School, and then came to Hawaii as manager of the 
plantation store at Laie. He was appointed to his present positions in 1918. 
He is also postmaster at Hauula.
  Mr. Woolley married Harriett Smith in Salt Lake City on June 27, 1917, and
