James Frank Woods (June 27, 1872 – June 4, 1930) was a major landowner during the Kingdom of Hawaii who was related to royalty and many civil leaders.
==Life==
His father was James Woods, who was born in Liverpool, England in 1845, and came to the Hawaiian Islands in 1860 to work for Janion & Green (later the "Big Five" firm Theo H. Davies & Co.), which had been based in England.
In 1866 his father moved to the cattle-ranching area known as Waimea where he worked to import improved cattle breeds to replace the wild cattle that had previously roamed the island of Hawaii.
He served in a number of government posts in the Kohala district including a term in the legislature of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and eventually became part owner of several sugar plantations in Hawaii and cattle ranches.
On March 22. 1868 his father married his mother Mary Ann Parker (1851–1909), three-quarters native Hawaiian granddaughter of John Palmer Parker (1790–1868), founder of Parker Ranch. James Frank Woods was born June 27, 1872, and generally went by the name Frank Woods.
He had seven siblings, five sisters two brothers.
When his father died in December 1883, the Kohala and Puuhue ranches passed to brothers Samuel Parker Woods (1877–1937) and Palmer Parker Woods (1872–1923).
In 1895 Woods bought Kahuā ranch from John Maguire, at about elevation at .
He also leased much of the surrounding land and started his own cattle business. He tried to convert some of the land into a sugarcane plantation, but his attempts to divert the nearby Kehna Ditch irrigation canal to his dry lands on the leeward side of Kohala Mountain were thwarted.
He leased the Mākua Valley (on the western coast of Oahu island, ) to fatten his cattle on their way to the market in Honolulu. The land is now the Mākua Military Reservation.
Woods married his cousin Eva Kalanikauleleaiwi Parker, second daughter of Samuel Parker.
He was the first vice-chairman of the board of supervisors for Hawaii County when it was organized.
After losing several elections in the Home Rule Party of Hawaii, he won in 1913 for a single term in the Territorial Senate.
Woods entertained Jack London and Charmian London when they visited.
A small cottage built for the Woods family is preserved as a museum in the Manua Lani resort.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work= Mauna Lani Resort web site )
Eva died December 3, 1922.
By 1928, after a dispute with neighboring ranchers and politically powerful Lincoln Loy McCandless, he was forced to sell Kahuā to Ronald von Holt and Atherton Richards, whose families still own it and offer historic tours.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work= Kahua Ranch web site )
In 1928 he married Princess Elizabeth Kahanu, the widow of Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaole who had been delegate to US Congress from the Territory of Hawaii.
