This past Wednesday, the 17th of this month, Thomas Hina grew weary of this life at 80 years old, and on the following Thursday his funeral was held at the mortuary of Townsend and Borthwick. Continue reading
On the morning of this past Monday, July 29, aboard the steamship Mariposa arrived Shirley Temple and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Temple. There were nearly 10,000 citizens of Honolulu who arrived early makai of the pier to see for themselves this famous girl in the movies [? oleana kiionioni]; and she is only 6 years old. She came to Honolulu nei to vacation for 18 days. They are staying at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

Born on the 30th of December, 1862, was a son by Her Highness R. Keelikolani, at Hale Halaaniani of Maj. W. L. Moehonua. At 4 in the afternoon was the birth; the mother is in fine health without weakness.
The child has been given to Mrs. Bishop (Pauahi) as a hanai, with our hopes that the royal son lives a long life. They are at Haleakala [the residence of the Bishops].

The stupidity of the Board of Education has been made clear. The Legislature has not approved the money to purchase Kaakopua and Keoua Hale. This is a huge sum of money, and it is better if they purchased some other land and built buildings for the high school, and not that beautiful house which will cost a lot to clean it up, as a place for a few people to live haughtily and snobbily off the money of the Government. It is true!

Keoua Hale was crowded this past Tuesday with people going to see the auction of the furniture of Bishop. The bed of Keelikolani went for $200.
[At the death of Keelikolani, Keoua Hale became the residence of Bernice Pauahi and Charles Reed Bishop. I wonder what became of this bed.]

The illustration above is of the beautiful house of Princess R. Keelikolani, standing in Honolulu, and called Keoua Hale. It is said that when many drawings of houses were placed before the alii for her to choose from, she looked through the many and chose the drawing of this house and instructed the artist, “build me a house like that.” Therefore, a house like the one in the picture was constructed to completion which now stands proudly, the building which graces that portion of Honolulu on Emma Street on the land of Kaakopua.

It became an unforgettable day for the many who gathered at Kaakopua in Honolulu nei, on this past Thursday, February 9, 1882, those being the people who were sent an invitation, and not only people of Honolulu, but from all over the Archipelago; they totaled more than a thousand and went to express their congratulations to and beloved prayers for her highness turning sixty-three years from when she was born, for she was born on the 9th of February of the year 1818, and so she has indeed reached an old age, and she is the very last descendent of the Kamehamehas still living.

On January 30, 1916, Miss Julia N.
