MY CHILD, ZACHARY PALI JR., HAS GONE.

ZACHARY PALI JR.

Mr. Sol. Hanohano, Editor of the Nupepa Kuokoa, Aloha between us:—Please allow me in your boundless patience an open space in our untiring precious [newspaper] to carry this sad news all over the islands so that the multitudes, the family, and friends living from where the sun appears to where the sun sets at Lehua may know.

On the 9th of July of this year, at 5 o’clock a. m., we met with a letter informing us that our child, Zachary Pali Jr. had gone on the road of no return. Auwe, how painful and sorrowful, and we did not see how he looked when the beloved body of my dear child was left in foreign lands, at Chicago, Illinois.

My beloved child was born in Kaunakakai, Molokai, from the loins of Mrs. Rose Pali Kamohakau, in the year 1897, July 22, and he spent 22 years, 7 months, and 17 days breathing in the cool and pleasant air of this earth, when his life spirit given by God glided off, leaving his body for the bowels of the earth; for the body of man is a bit of dust, and dust returns to dust.

On the 9th of May of this year he left his friends, and left as well his parents and family, who are mourning and heavyhearted.

My beloved child left his land of birth, and went with his musician friends on the 8th of December 1916. My dear child and his friends went around different cities totaling 125, and went back to Chicago, Illinois, leaving his cold body for the bowels of the earth. Auwe, how regretful and saddened I am for my child, my dear child of my youth. Auwe for my beloved one!

It is God who blesses us all, and it is He who will lessen the sorrow and sadness that weighs upon us. Let us give much glory to God, for it is He who creates and He who takes away.

With much appreciation to the Editor and the workers.

We with aloha,

ZACHARY PALI PAHUPU,

MRS. ROSE P. PAHUPU,

MRS. ROSE KUALAAU,

J. S. NAILAU PAHUPU.

[I wonder if Zachary Pali Jr. has a marked grave somewhere in Illinois…]

OUR YOUNGER BROTHER, JOHN KAHAWAIOLAA, HAS GONE.

JOHN KAHAWAIOLAA.

Mr. Sol. Hanohano, Editor of the Kuokoa, Aloha oe: Please extend your patience in allowing an open space of our tireless precious one, and it will carry around the sad news to all the islands of Hawaii nei, and the family, the associates, the friends, and the laborers from the appearing of the sun at Kumukahi to the taking of the sun at Lehua.

On Saturday, July 5, between the hours of 2 and 3 occurred the accident at work under the supervisors, those who built the church of Baldwin at Paia, Maui and the church of the Church of the Later Day at Laie, under those supervisors. [There might perhaps be things left out from the original.]

John Kahawaiolaa was born in Hanamaulu, Kauai, on the 28th of February, in the year 1889, and he was 30 years, 4, months, and 7 days old; and he left behind his birth mother [luaui makuahine], and his sisters and one older brother grieving with heavy heart for him.

The words of the Great Book are realized: dust to dust, and the spirit to the one who created it.

In closing these bemoaning and heavy thoughts for my beloved younger sibling [pokii], I ask that the ohana, friends, coworkers, and bosses of our beloved younger brother who left this life behind, to take our boundless thanks for all of your gifts of flower lei to honor the remains of our beloved pokii, and for your meeting with us at the funeral, and may God help us all, amene.

We, the family.

[I am thinking that the picture as it appears in the original newspaper is much better than this. Maybe one day soon they will be rescanned clearly, so not only the words are legible, but the pictures will reproduced as clear as possible!]
