Juliette M. Atherton, the widow of Joseph B. Atherton, expressed her commitment to the welfare of the people of Hawai‘i with the creation of the Juliette M. Atherton Trust. On December 21, 1915, Mrs. Atherton transferred 20 percent of the outstanding shares of the Atherton Estate to her children, Charles H. Atherton, Mary A. Richards and Frank C. Atherton. The 1,500 shares would be held in trust to continue the charitable work that Mrs. Atherton was vitally interested in throughout her life.
