Lorraine Marr, left, widow of C.E. Marr, right, summoned her grown children home to their Waikiki estate in 1946. Three of the four children uprooted their families to move into the mansion with her. “Maybe it was the era, or maybe my grandmother could get away with it,” said grandson Peter Berquist, who grew up in the mansion, now called Bozarth. C.E Marr, who purchased the Waikiki estate in 1936 from mining and railroad tycoon Jay P. Graves, first made his fortune in the grocery business and then when he retired from that, he invested successfully in mines in the Inland Northwest and British Columbia. He died in 1946.
