PASSING OF ROBERT HALSTEAD
Prominent Sugar Planter and Old Resident Dies at His Home in Makiki.
Robert Halstead, one of the best-known sugar planters in the Islands and formerly the owner of the Waialua plantation, died at 8:30 o'clock last evening at his residence in Makiki. Mr. Halstead's illness had been of very brief duration, and it was only a few days ago that it took a serious turn. For five days he had been confined to his bed, gradually weakening until last evening, when he passed away. A sad feature of the death of the well known capitalist was the fact that of his six children but two are in the Islands. The others are on the Mainland or abroad and have not yet been informed of their father's illness. Edgar and Frank Halstead left the Islands for a trip in Europe only recently; Norman Halstead is in San Francisco, and Miss Emily Halstead is visiting with friends in Denver. Mrs. Halstead, with her daughters, Mrs. W. O. Lackland and Mrs. Dr. R. H. Reid, are the only ones of the family who are in Honolulu.
Robert Halstead was born in Todmorden, Yorkshire, England, on August 10, 1836, and came to the Islands about thirty years ago. He went into sugar planting and was connected at first with the Lahaina plantation, leaving there shortly after to go to the Waialua plantation, which he owned and managed for twenty-five years. Two years ago Mr. Halstead sold the Waialua plantation to the Waialua Sugar Company, and retired from business. He owned a handsome home in Makiki, where he had since resided. Since his retirement he had lived a very quiet retired life. He was a communicant of St. Clement's Church, in Makiki. The funeral will take place at 3:30 this afternoon from the Masonic Temple and will be under the auspices of Lodge Le Progres, F. & A. M., of which Mr. Halstead was a member.
