Hawaiian woman returns from Europe after many years away, 1862.

[Found under: “NA MEA HOU O HAWAII NEI.”]

Hawaiian Woman in Europe.–Early morning on this past Thursday, Kahula (woman) returned from Germany, on the foreign Laura & Louise. She lived many years away from her home lands; she left perhaps in 1857. She said she went to America, Britain, Germany, and her life was comfortable, living with her employers, that being L. H. Anthon, Esq. (Luika), that foreign language speaking haole who lived in Hawaii before.

  1. Thank you for this interesting information! Kahula must have followed the Anthons when they departed Honolulu in april 1858. She is listed in the Census from Copenhagen as a 37 year old babysitter (danish: “barnepige”)

    L.H. Anthon died in 1862, so the widow apparently send her back home to honolulu. Pleased to learn that!
