THOMAS SUTHERLAND ABEL, Banker. Like many other adopted sons of Hawaii, Thomas 
S. Abel had no intention of remaining here when he arrived in Honolulu on 
Sept. 13, 1915, for a vacation and rest. But he found the islands so much to 
his liking that he decided to stay.
  He entered the Bank of Bishop & Co. as manager of the foreign and domestic 
exchange department and continued there until Dec. 1, 1917, when he became 
assistant cashier of the newly organized Army National Bank at Schofield 
Barracks, a position he still occupies.
  During the World War, Mr. Abel entered the army, was graduated from the 
fourth officers' training camp and commissioned a second lieutenant of 
infantry. Transferred to Camp Grant, Illinois, he served there as a bayonet 
instructor until the end of the war, when he returned to his duties at the 
Army National Bank.
  Mr. Abel is secretary and a director of the Castner Garage, Ltd., and vice-
president of the Wahiawa Ice Co., Ltd. He is a Mason and past master of 
Schofield lodge, past vice-commander of Schofield Post No. 6, American Legion, 
and a member of the University, Oahu Country and Commercial clubs of Honolulu 
and of the Hawaiian Sojourners Club, No. 8, of Schofield.
  Born at Berlin, Wisconsin, May 3, 1890, the son of John and Elizabeth 
(Forrest) Abel, Mr. Abel was educated at Omro High School and Ripon College, 
Ripon, Wisconsin.
