MISS KAMAKEA MAGOON, NOW MRS. ANDERSON
Standing under the folds of the American and Hawaiian flags, Miss Kamakea Magoon and Harmon Anderson, known to the theatrical world a Richard Kipling, were united in marriage at 7:30 oʻclock last night at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Alfred Magoon. The Rev. Dr. Doremus, pastor of Central Union church, officiated.
The ceremony was performed in the parlor, which was beautifully decorated with lilies and magnolia blooms for the occasion. Only the immediate friends and relatives of the bride and bridegroom were present.
MR. HARMON ANDERSON
The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Magoon, and her brother, John Henry Magoon, appeared as best man. The bride was given away by her father.
At the wedding feast which followed, Prince and Princess Kalanianaole had seats of honor near the bride and bridegroom. A Hawaiian orchestra played Hawaiian airs during the supper, at the conclusion of which the bride and bridegroom departed upon their honeymoon.
On their return they will be at home in a bungalow the gift of the bride’s parents.

Aloha! That is awesome. So your grandmother or grandfather was her sibling? One of the children of J. A. Magoon? And mahalo for the spelling Kamakia!
Yes – Mary Catherine Kekulani Magoon, who married Frank Ward Hustace, Sr. in 1916 or so.
Mahalo nui.
Interesting. Are they/you related to the Beckleys and Fayerweathers?
