DAVID WILLIAM ANDERSON, Trust Company Official. Born in Dalkeith, Scotland, 
Jan. 27, 1870, the son of William Patterson and Jeanie (Whitelaw) Anderson, 
David W. Anderson attended the Edinburgh Institution and Edinburgh University, 
and came to Hawaii in 1899. 
  Becoming interested in business prospects in Honolulu he took employment as 
a bookkeeper for the N. S. Sachs Drygoods Co., Ltd., and after one year in 
this position joined the Bank of Bishop & Co., Ltd., where he remained for ten 
years. In 1910 he became assistant manager of the Trent Trust Co., Ltd., and 
in 1914 left Honolulu to return to his native country for World War service.
  He was with the Royal Fusiliers overseas, fighting through the Somme push of 
1916, during which he was wounded and sent to England to recuperate. He was 
then commissioned a first lieutenant in the Royal Berkshire Regiment, and did 
both home and foreign service attached to various units, concluding his war 
experience with duty in the intelligence department attached to general 
headquarters in London. He was promoted to the rank of major and in January, 
1920, was discharged.
  Returning to Honolulu, he was cashier for the Mutual Telephone Co., Ltd., in 
1920 and 1921, and after spending a year with Theo H. Davies & Co., Ltd., as 
auditor accepted his present position as assistant treasurer of the Bishop 
Trust Co., Ltd., and the affiliated Guardian Trust Co., Ltd.
  Mr. Anderson is a Mason, Shriner, and a member of the University, Oahu
