William Wo Tuck Wong
Long time Hanalei resident, rice and taro farmer, William Wo Tuck Wong, died Nov. 14, 1999, in Honolulu at the age of 98.
Born in Waioli Valley in Hanalei in 1901, he was the eldest son of nine children born to immigrant parents from China. He attended Hanalei School and worked with his father on their 20-acre rice farm at Waioli. When he was 18, the family decided to expand their rice acreagemoving to Hanalei Valley, where land was available. They carved out 36 acres of ride paddies from virgin land with the help of Chinese laborers, horses and mules. When rice farming became unprofitable in the late 1940s, Wong converted his rice paddies to taro, remaining a taro farmer until he retired in 1970. He moved to Honolulu in 1975.
