About nupepa

Just another place that posts random articles from the Hawaiian Newspapers!

Kahoohihi Alapa Dies at Iosepa, Utah, 1913.

MRS. KAHOOHIHI ALAPA HAS GONE.

Mr. Editor:—Please allow me some space for the sentence above, that being that Mrs. Kahoohihi Alapa has grown weary of this life.

On the morning of Monday, at 6 o’clock on the 3rd of March, the Angel of God visited and took the soul from the body of our beloved Mrs. Kahoohihi Alapa. Auwe aloha wale!

She left her her feeble husband and their children and family. They have four daughters from their loins, and she left this life.

She was sick along with her husband for a week, she had lower back pains, and she was also pregnant, she was distressed along with being inflicted by smallpox [hepera], which is a sickness that is quarantined, so no one would enter to help them; they would have been in terrible trouble were it not for that male cousin of Kahoohihi’s [kaikunane hanauna ?], that being Joseph N. Kaniwi, who stayed with them and so they had someone to take care of them. He was up day and night patiently.

Kahoohihi Alapa was born of the loins of Julia (f) and David Luwela (m) in the month of March, on the 23rd, 1866; at Kahana, Koolauloa, Oahu; and she was 26 years and over 11 months of age when she expired.

She left her homeland, and followed after her grandfather, Makekehau [Makakehau ?], leaving her father and mother and family at home. She was only eleven at the time.

She lived here at Iosepa for 15 years and some, and she was bound by the sacred covenant of marriage with her husband, Harvey O. Alapa, and she left this life.

She was pleasant in every way, she was welcoming to all to her home, and she was important to her friends, and she listened to her friends when they spoke and would do their bidding.

How regrettable, that rose blossom is gone; she will no longer be seen passing at the door of the family and friends of the land. How sad!

Me, with sadness, her sister-in-law,

MRS. ANA OLIWA HOOPIIAINA.

Iosepa, Tooele County, Utah.

[The issue of this Aloha Aina is misprinted as 1/11/1912, but it should be 1/11/1913! This sort of thing happens once in a while, and if you are not careful, it can lead to wild goose chases. Case in point: i don’t know how long i spent looking for the English article that this was taken from because i was looking in 1912… This article originates from the Honolulu Star-Bulletin (1/4/1913).

Because of the desire to liquidate the story book of Kaluaikoolau which are stacked up in the publishing office, one of those books will be given away for free to each person who buys the Kuokoa directly from the office of the Hawaiian Gazette Company, beginning this morning.

[Up until this time, the books were going for 10 cents each, if you picked them up at the Hawaiian Gazette Co. office, or 15 cents if you wanted them sent to the country. See ad below.]

James Auld suffers stroke? 1895.

Here is Kimo Olo [James Auld], a native Hawaiian who is a familiar with the printing profession, who is suffering from a stroke [mai ano lolo ?].

[At least we know from this article that the newspaperman, James Auld, is still living in 1895.]

The Hawaiian Flag and James Auld and Capt. Alexander Adams…

It is interesting to note that newspaperman, James Auld, who was responsible for the Kuokoa 1/1/1862 color image of the Hawaiian Flag was the son of Andrew Auld, who arrived from Scotland in 1816. And that this Andrew Auld was apparently dear friends with none other than fellow Scot, Capt. Alexander Adams, who captained the Kaahumanu (formerly named Forrester) for Kamehameha I. Adams is traditionally credited for designing the the Hawaiian Flag.

[Andrew Auld and Alexander Adams lay side by side at Oahu Cemetery, their single gravestone reads: “Twa croanies frae the land of heather / Are sleepin’ here in death th’gether.”—Two close friends from the land of heather (Scotland) are sleeping here in death together.

And James’ brother, William, who we spoke of earlier as the engraver of James’ wife’s (Uwinihepa’s) tombstone, was perhaps more importantly one of the four men sent to take the Anti-Annexation Petitions to Washington D. C. Oh! and William marries one of the daughters of Capt. Alexander Adams, Mary (9/21/1859). Both James and William seem to also go by the last name Andrew/Andrews.]

This Thursday, at Moanui, Molokai, Miss Blanche Dudoit and Charles Kuhio Lewis were bound together in the holy covenant of matrimony. Mr. and Mrs. Kale Kuakua [Charles Dudoit] sent out invitations to intimates and friends to a party held at 2 in the afternoon there. This is one of the daughters of Kiule Kuakua [Jules Dudoit], and the husband is one of the sons of Mrs. C. Pehikulani Auld, the wife of Kimo Olo [James Auld].

[I am not sure if this is James Auld, the newspaperman, or another generation. Anybody have birth and death dates?

There are many Hawaiianized names like “Olo” for “Auld”, and “Kuakua” for “Dudoit”. There should be a site that lists them in one easy to look up format!]

We saw the stone carved by William Auld for the Grave of Mrs. Uwinihepa Auld, and it is admirable. Those imported are not better, and it was not more expensive. This Hawaiian is in Hawaii, and he is not far away if looked for.

[And once again, it astounds me what you can find online… William Auld [older brother of James Auld] apparently was very talented as seen by the tombstone still standing today.]

Grief-Ridden Death.

With regret, grief, pain and sorrow, we announce the sad news whose heavy burden has fallen upon us to tell the relatives, intimates, friends, and the masses, about the passing and the going alone from the field of suffering of this life [hele kohana aku la ma kela paia o na inea o keia ola ana ?], on the morning of this past Tuesday, the 6th of June, at her home on the corner of Beritania Street and Queen Emma Street, of Mrs. Uwinihepa Auld; the wife and companion in the hot distant days, and the cold misty nights of this royal town, of our good friend stricken by grief, and a fellow Printer, and one who has shared in the toils of other endeavors, that being Mr. James Auld.

Mrs. U. Auld was born within the limits of this royal town on the 16th of November 1842 and she lived peacefully and comfortably, and she passed at 34 years and a few months. She left behind a husband with a heavy responsibility of three children, the offspring of their loins which she left behind, as well as many friends. Yesterday afternoon, there was a funeral procession where she was accompanied on a bier to where she was laid to rest as spoken of earlier [although it seems that they do not mention the graveyard], and “dust shalt return to dust.”—(Rest in Peace.)

[This is why i knew “Uwini” in the previous marriage announcement article was an abbreviation for “Uwinihepa”.]

MARRIED.—On Saturday evening, the first day of this month, James Auld was married to Miss Uwini Taihuna, the youngest daughter of Taihuna and Wahinekapu. There were many friends who went to see the wedding. There was a party at their house that evening, on Nuuanu Avenue, after they were joined by the gentle tie of marriage. With those who were filled with joy are the warm thoughts and hopes that they will be blessed from the people who print this paper.
