E Nai Wale No Oukou… 1897.
E naʻi wale nō ʻoukou!
NAI WALE NO OUKOU AO’E PAU
1. E Hawaii Nui kuauli,
E na Honoapiilani,
Oahu o Kakuhihewa,
Kauai o Manokalani.
Cho. E nai wale no oukou,
I kuu pono ao’e pau,
I ka pono kumu o Hawaii,
E mau e ka Ea o ka aina i ka pono.
2. He leo aloha i pae mai,
Mai na kukulu mai o Kahiki,
E i mai ana ia oe e Hawaii,
E malama i ka maluhia.
3. I hookahi kahi ka manao,
I hookahi kahi ke aloha,
I hookahi kahi puuwai,
E malama i ka maluhia.
Composed by
Samuel K. Kamakaia.
[Another well-known mele, with a few noticeable differences from what is sung today. The repeated line “E malama i ka maluhia.” would be “Keep the peace.”]

Meanwhile this death announcement for Archie A. Hapai is hard to make out, 1933.
This article is difficult to read for two reasons. 1. The newspaper is not scanned clearly. 2. The typesetting seems not to have been done very carefully.
What we can learn from this article that was not included in the previous English article is that:
Archie A. Hapai has Passed On.
His father died earlier, but his mother, Sarah Hapai, survives him although she is frail. She is known to all the young ones of Hilo as Aunty Sarah.
Archie was greatly trusted by his coworkers. He was kind and a gentleman. He left behind a wife and many children, as well as a sister and his mother. Continue reading
