EVERARDUS BOGARDUS, Bank Official. Three years of service with important 
financial institutions of New York preceded the entry of Everardus Bogardus 
into the Bank of Bishop & Co., Ltd., on Dec. 1, 1923. He is now secretary and 
assistant cashier.
  Mr. Bogardus first came to Hawaii in March, 1919, a year and a half after 
his marriage in New York to Elizabeth Carter, daughter of former Governor 
George R. Carter, on Oct. 20, 1917, shortly after he had left Yale University 
to join the navy for service in the World War. His first position in Honolulu 
was in the real estate department of the Trent Trust Co. and five months later 
he became a partner in the firm of James F. Morgan Co.
  Due to Mrs. Bogardus’ ill health, the couple went to New York in January, 
1921, where Mr. Bogardus took a position with the Guaranty Trust Co. In 
October of that year he became connected with the new business department of 
the Bankers’ Trust Co., remaining with that concern until Oct. 1, 1923, when 
he returned to Hawaii and became manager of the new business department of the 
Bank of Bishop & Co., later being appointed assistant cashier. He is a 
director of the San Carlos Milling Co. and a member of the Republican 
executive committee for the 13th precinct of the 5th district.
  Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., Jan. 1, 1896, the son of W. A. H. and Mary (Couch) 
Bogardus, Mr. Bogardus attended the Fay School for Boys, Southboro, Mass., 
where Prince David Kalakaua was also a student.
  Mr. Bogardus entered St. George’s, a private school, in 1910, and Yale 
University in 1915, where he remained until war was declared in 1917, when he 
joined the navy as gunner’s mate, second class, N.R.F., at Newport. During the 
war he was stationed at Queenstown, Ireland, doing convoy work on destroyers. 
When the armistice was signed, he was a lieutenant, junior grade, in the 
regular navy. Having been a junior at Yale when war was declared, Mr. Bogardus 
was given a war degree with the Class of 1918.
  At Yale he was a member of the famous Book and Snake Society. He belongs to 
the Yale Club of New York and the University Club, Pacific Club, and Chamber 
of Commerce of Honolulu.
