ARCHIBALD WOOD BROWN, Insurance Manager. Archibald W. Brown, assistant 
secretary, a director, and manager of the life insurance department of The von 
Hamm-Young Co., Ltd., became identified with the business interests of 
Honolulu virtually by accident. Coming to Honolulu on the yacht Hawaii in the 
1912 trans-Pacific race as a member of the South Coast (now the California) 
Yacht Club of San Pedro, Calif., he remained with the von Hamm-Young Co., 
Ltd., as head of its insurance department. He is secretary of the Pearl Harbor 
Yacht Club and a member of the Pacific and Commercial clubs.
  Born in Los Angeles County, Cal. Oct. 20, 1890, Mr. Brown is the son of 
William P. and Clara M. (Wood) Brown. He was educated in the Los Angeles 
public schools and the University of Southern California Law College, was a 
bookkeeper and statistician with various Los Angeles firms for two years and a 
teller of the United States National Bank in Los Angeles for six years 
previous to coming to Honolulu.
  During the World war Mr. Brown was commissioned at the first Officers’ 
Training Camp at Schofield Barracks. While serving as assistant department 
adjutant of the Hawaiian Department, he was placed in charge of the draft 
mobilization camp. He was later ordered to the 17th Division at Camp 
Beauregard, Louisiana, and was discharged in 1919 with the rank of captain.
