[Unfortunately, the Vital Statistics column for this date appeared on the bottom, left column seen below. This is just another example of a bad digital image taken from a badly shot microfilm. On the microfilm, you can make out three (3) marriages, eight (8) births, and seven (7) deaths. You can make out a portion of the names and dates using the microfilm, like Keola, Villa, Koana?, Kapena, Apela, Miner, Naluai… But a lot of it is just a blur.

Now is time to rescan, as clear as possible, the original newspapers, so you have a better chance of finding what your ohana left behind in the newspapers: whether it be in a vital statistics column, or a mele, or a commentary about the government, or in any other priceless words and pictures…]
