Lawrence McCully

Having taught for several months in a family in New Orleans, and for a year in Kentucky, he then formed a plan of settling in the Hawaiian Islands, where he arrived in December, 1854.

The introductions which he brought secured him an appointment as Police Justice of the Hilo district, which he held from Sept. 1, 1855, until his resignation on April 1, 1857.

He then bought land and set out an orange orchard at Kona, Hawaii, but in 1858 removed to Honolulu, where he began the study of law in the office of Chief Justice Charles Harris.

On February 1, 1877, he was commissioned as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Kingdom, and this position he held until his death.

His health, which had previously been somewhat delicate, was thus undermined, and he failed gradually until his death, at his home in Honolulu, on April 10, 1892, in his 61st year.
