At 11:05 in the evening of this past Saturday, November 25, after being sick for a long time, Mr. Solomon Meheula gasped his last breath at his home, and he left in Puna his friends and fellows remembering him and all of his fine works that will live on as a monument to him.
He was born over there in Waialua, on this island, on the 15th of June 1862, and now that he sleeps, he spent 60 winters and summers plus 5 months and 10 days.
His education was began at an Episcopal school in Waialua, and when he returned to live in Honolulu nei, he entered the Iolani School of this town, and after he became a teacher for that school. During this time he edited the Episcopal Hymnal in the press of the Episcopal Church, and it was under Mr. Meheula’s guidance that this great and valuable work was completed; he was an assistant to the Bishops Willis and Restarick in the Episcopal Church.
After Bishop Willis left Hawaii nei, he again became a school teacher, and his wife was the matron of the school, and the children of the school were under her care.
A number of years ago, he was one of those who ran for representative under the Democratic party, however, he was not elected. In 1907 he entered and began working at the police department as a secretary under the County Deputy Sheriff and thereafter with the city and county government. At that time, he became a teacher in a special Hawaiian-language class for the military school, the Honolulu Military Academy.
The late Solomon Meheula was one of the Hawaiians who was fluent in English, and he rearranged a number of story books into Hawaiian.
At 6 o’clock in the evening of this Monday, his remains were placed for the last visitation by his fellows and friends at the Silva Mortuary on Kukui Street and Nuuanu Avenue, and at 2 o’clock in the afternoon of this Tuesday, his funeral was held at the Episcopal church, St. Andrew, and at 3 o’clock his remains were carried to the Puea Cemetery.

In the early morning of Wednesday last week, Solomon W. Meheula, one of the kamaaina of this district of Hanalei, Kauai, left this worldly life, after being sick for a short time, and in the afternoon of that Wednesday, his remains were carried to and buried at Anahola, his birth land.
He was a native and local that faced the showers [aloalo kuaua], that is of Hanalei, and as he now rests, he lived 51 years in this life. He left behind his wife and his four children, three daughters and one son.
He was educated at Kamehameha School for Boys, and he was one who was very enthusiastic in sports and he was often scene in the circle of those who know singing. He strove to do good works. He was ordained in the ministry for Kauai just a little while ago, and it was in this profession that he worked until his death.
He was a member of the local legislature in 1923 from Kauai, and for several years, he lived and worked on the homestead lands in Kapaa, and now that he has gone, he has become an unforgettable memorial for all the good works which he did.

Kamehameha III. Prince Albert. Queen Kalama.
PRINCE ALBERT AS AN INFANT.
From a picture hanging on the walls of the home of the late Prince Albert Kunuiakea. Made about 1853.
In the old throne room of the Capitol Building, where royalty once held sway, the remains of Prince Albert Kunuiakea were laid in state yesterday afternoon. At 6 o’clock to the accompaniment of muffled drums and the solemn tread of soldiery the casket containing the body of the last heir presumptive of the Kamehamehas was brought from his late residence in Palama to the old royal estate where the Prince as a boy had been raised in the family of Kamehameha III. The procession from the residence was headed by a drum corps followed by four companies of the First Regiment of the National Guard of Hawaii. Behind the troops came the hearse bearing the royal casket, flanked by young Hawaiian chiefs bearing large and small feather kahilis. These were novel in the startling array of beautiful colored feathers and in the adaptation of ancient funeral customs. Behind the hearse came the mourners, the chiefs and chiefesses according to rank as recognized among the Hawaiians. When the military filed into the Capitol grounds they divided on each side of the driveway allowing the hearse to pass between serried lines of soldiers standing at present arms. Col. Soper and Capt. Hawes of the Governor’s staff, in full uniform, met the remains at the front entrance of the Capitol.
The casket was carried into the throne room and deposited upon a bier overspread with a beautiful pall of heavy black velvet faced with yellow silk. At the head was a magnificent feather kahili of black and yellow and candelabra authorized by the Roman Catholic church. Four huge kahilis, the tabu marks of the royal presence, designated the sacred enclosure and within this, six chiefs, three on each side of the bier, were placed upon watch, waving small kahilis in unison over the casket. From the old throne of the Kalakauas the crown flag of Hawaii was suspended and over the entrances the Hawaiian colors were draped. A beautiful array of palms upon the dais, together with the picturesque old throne room chairs, formed a pleasing picture. When the beautiful crystal candelabra were illuminated the scene beneath was spectacular.
The main staircase from the hallway was lined with palms. The waving of the kahilis, and the chanting of the genealogy of the Prince were continued through the night and will be a part of the weird ceremony until the casket is borne from the palace.
The committee on decorations was as follows: Mrs. Carrie Robinson, Mrs. Helen Holt, Mrs. Mary Beckley, Mrs. Ena, Mrs. A. P. Taylor, Mrs. Emmeline Magoon, Mrs. Alice Hutchinson, Miss Hilda Burgess, Miss May Low, Harry Davison, J. McGuire.
From 11 a. m. to 1 p. m. today the body will lie in state in the old throne room of the Capitol. From 1 to 1:20 p. m. the Roman Catholic service will be said, Pro Vicar Libert officiating. A detail of the National Guard was assigned as a guard of honor yesterday afternoon and will remain under arms until the procession moves this afternoon.
The order of procession today appears elsewhere in a By Authority notice.

MY BELOVED WIFE HAS PASSED ON
Mr. Sol. Hanohano, Aloha oe: please welcome in some empty room in our messenger for this sad parcel that is placed above so that the family sees in all parts of this archipelago.
My beloved wife was born from the loins of Mrs. Lono Kahikina and Mr. William Kapeamu, in the year 1890, in the month of March, on the 15th day, therefore, my wife was 29 years and 10 months and 27 days old.
We were joined in marriage by the Father Abraham Fernandez in the year 1907, on May 15th, and we lived in aloha for 12 full years, 11 months, and 19 days.
My beloved wife left me and our five beloved lei for me, her husband to singly care for. Auwe, how painful to think of my wife when looking at the children!
We lived together for 12 years with love for each other. Auwe, my endless regret for my loving wife, the adult of our home, the one young Hawaiian woman who knew thrift; she was a welcoming woman, and a woman who loved her family, the children, and me, her husband.
My wife was always devout in the home, she had faith in the almighty God of the heavens, she was a respectable woman, and she was thrifty. Auwe, my endless sorrow for my beloved wife, Mrs. Martha Hatchie.
She was educated at the school of the nuns [?? St. Andrew’s Priory]; and above all, I, her companion, her husband, give my boundless thanks to all the family, companions, and friends who came and shared in our time of grief and sadness.
Please take my endless appreciation for the gifts of flowers that you strew upon my beloved, my wife, and blessed be the almighty god in the highest heavens. It is He who giveth and He who taketh away, the one in whom we trust; of Him is eternal life and death; amen.
Me, in sadness, her loving husband.
J. P. HATCHIE.

That chiefess born of the land, Mrs. Lucy Kaheiheimalie Peabody Henriques has gone. She was loved by all of us, and she was a precious one among the people. She was going silently away these past weeks. Aloha with unending tears. She went to see the sacred bosom of Kane. The rejected flowers were strewn at Wailua [?? Ua ahu iho la na pua wahawaha i Wailua]; she left grieving behind, her beloved lei, her daughter, Kalanikiekie Henriques. Continue reading
Isaac Testa, a well-known young Hawaiian, whose home is on Kalihi road, died on Christmas Day of dropsy, at his home. The deceased was a printer, recently of the Star, who until a few months ago was with the Hawaiian Gazette Company. He was particularly well liked by his employers…
The Late Isaac Testa.
…and by his fellow workers, among whom he set an example of industry and thrift. While with the Gazette he instituted a savings association among the men, as a result of which thousands of dollars were saved and invested.
Mr. Testa was a quiet man, but one who had a large circle of devoted friends. His death is a loss to the Hawaiians, among whom he was a leader in the right direction.
[It seems that this is the son of the sister of Hoke (Francisco Jose Testa).]
