MANUEL R. AGUIAR, JR., Farmer and Legislator. One of the men who has proved 
that homesteading may be carried on successfully in Hawaii is Manuel R. 
Aguiar, Jr., of Kapaa, Kauai, who also has served as a member of the 
territorial legislature.
  Mr. Aguiar devoted himself to agriculture with the Makee Sugar Co., 
beginning at the age of 14. After four years at that plantation he left to 
accept appointment as assistant postmaster at Kelia in 1914. He resigned this 
post after nine months’ service to devote himself entirely to his homestead at 
Kapaa.
  Born in Hanamaulu, Kauai, on Jan. 2, 1892, Mr. Aguiar is the son of Manuel 
R. and Marie R. Aguiar. His service in the legislature was as a member of the 
House in the 1919 session. He was a member of the Hawaii National Guard from 
1916 to 1918.
  Mr. Aguiar, running on the Democratic ticket, was elected to the Kauai board 
of supervisors in November, 1923, representing the Kawaihau district.
  Member of the board of directors of the Bank of Kauai, Lihue; secretary of 
the Kapaa Homesteaders’ Co-operative Association, and membership in Foresters’ 
Lodge, Court Waialelale, Kauai, are included in Mr. Aguiar’s other activities.
  He married Beatrice Ignacio of Papaikou, Hawaii, on Feb. 25, 1922, and they 
have two children, Beatrice Stiffany and Marie Carroll Aguiar.
