[Some newspapers ran vital statistics columns, while others did not. Also the above is an example of a vital statistics column appearing in one paper at the same time another paper prints their own column. They are not the same. See the following post of the Kuokoa column.
Also, there are other articles in this issue giving vital statistics information:
p. 1—”He kanikau no Apuiki,” gives information on Apuiki who died in January, like the parents are Kaiho and Keaka, and elder sibling (of same sex) was named Keliihelela…
p. 1—”He wahi moolelo no J. Kaihupaa,” gives a nicely detailed biography of J. Kaihupaa, who dies on 2/26/1862. He was intimately involved in the royal court. Kamehameha IV took care of much of the funeral. The article is written by J. W. Iaukea (father of Curtis Piehu Iaukea)…
p. 3—”OLELO HOOLAHA, (by Mrs. Napapai),” is a personal announcement speaking of Kahinahina of Honolulu who just died, who is the true child of Kapau who also died, who was a member of the King’s Hulumanu. She claims all lands of Kaaihinahina, which are listed…
p. 3—”OLELO HOOLAHA, (by JNO. E. BARNARD),” is an official announcement saying that Kamaha asked to be the executor of the estate of Maau of Honolulu who died…
And on and on…]

Editor:
Your news-sniffing detective reports before all, the improper actions of the Brothers [Hoahanau] overseeing the Baldwin Home [Home Balauwina] in Kalawao. On Wednesday morning, the 9th of September, there was a uprising between the boys and the Brothers because the pig feed bucket was brought filled with tea to drink that morning. So the boys were incensed at that mistreatment. These Brothers must have thought that those boys inflicted with leprosy at that Home were pigs, and that is why they did that kind of thing.
Here is another thing: one of the boys who died at the Home some months ago was taken to the mortuary. That night, his clothes he was wearing were fetched. Here are the items taken from the body of the dead boy: One brand new suit, and a pair of shoes. These things are being worn now by another boy of the Home.
One more thing, if a boy of the Home dies, he is wrapped up in a blanket and put in a box and taken to Koloa [?].
The cart used to transport beef is another thing; that is the cart used to transport the patients with rotting sores. Is this something proper that the Brothers are doing to these boys of the lahui who are afflicted with this suffering from leprosy living in the Home?
Your detective believes that it is not right. It is killing the body and the soul of their neighbor. The Board of Health [Papa Ola] should remove these Brothers from the Home and return the Sisters [Viregine] of Aloha to this Home. Their care of the patients was much better than that of these people who waste the Government’s money.
With appreciation,
News-Sniffing Detective
Kalawao, Molokai.

O Hawaiian Nation, the steamship “Meifoo” from China, entered into Honolulu Harbor, and within its passengers, there are six Chinese who are suffering from that frightful annihilating disease of 1853–4, that illness that took ten-thousand of our beloved people. There are two of them with the disease that are very bad, and four will perhaps live.
We understand the the Board of Health has decided to quarantine the sick at the hospital at Kahakaaulana, and for those that are not sick, to quarantine them at Kakaako, while detaining the agents of the ship to pay all expenses should the disease spread here after.
We call out to our beloved nation, let us watch out for ourselves, and let us not associate much with these foreigners, for the time for concern has come upon our nation, because this disease was brought here and it is at our own door. Should we be saved, it is only through the love of the Almighty.
Do recall, O Leaders of our Nation, as well as the members of the Board of Health, that the cabinet of Gerrit P. Judd [Kauka] was ended because of this, and we fear that maybe there will be one that follows the first one in the very near future. Only time will tell.
As we were returning to print the paper for today, it was heard that Smallpox appeared in the body of a haole boy of this town. Here is a query, a question: what of this?
(Ko Hawaii Pae Aina, 2/5/1881, p. 2)

Upon the schooner, “Mana,” there appeared a case of smallpox in the cook, as the ship was sailing for Hawaii. It returned to Honolulu, and all aboard were quarantined, and the sick person was taken to the hospital at Kahakaaulana. When the illness starts appearing, perhaps only one thing can save us, that is by us being vaccinated, when Hanakapahu [another name for smallpox] strikes with his merciless tongue.

The scary killer disease of 1853 has appeared once again within this town, and has spread its roots throughout the Kona district in no time. We are in possession of the list of the sick, from the 4th of December 1880 up until yesterday, and the total reached 53. Seven of them are haole, 12 are Chinese, and the rest are all Hawaiians. One haole died of the illness, and one hung himself. Just one Hawaiian has died, Lilia Keawe, a hapa haole.
We strongly urge, in the case where one of you is afflicted, O People of Honolulu, to quickly make it known at the prison, and the government will treat you at no cost. Do not try to conceal it, or it will become an epidemic.

Let it be known to everyone that at 10 in the morning on Monday of next week, that being the 24th of January, vaccinations will take place again at the Protestant Church in Waikiki Kai. Therefore, everyone who got vaccinated last Monday should go there to receive their clearance papers, and also those of Waikiki who were not previously vaccinated.
And at 12 noon of that same day, vaccinations will begin at the Protestant church at Kamoiliili.
Therefore, everyone who has not gotten vaccinated should go there, from Punahou, Manoa, Palolo, Waikiki Uka, and Waikiki Waena, as well as Waialae and Niu; there you will receive the vaccination at no cost for all children and adults who were not previously vaccinated. Be vigilant, O People, and come down; for this is the means by which you will escape the devastating disease, smallpox.

Head of Vaccination for Oahu.

It is a shocking thing, what the Board of Health was seen doing these days. When the steamship, the “City of New York,” arrived from San Francisco, where smallpox was spread, the passengers up front were quarantined, but the passengers from the back, the wealthy people, were allowed to come ashore without being quarantined. When the ship came to the dock, those on shore were forbidden to approach it. Because of the Board of Health’s unequal quarantine, the passengers from the front rejected the quarantine orders, and the rules of the Board of Health were useless.
Now that the people know full well of this act, it is quite clear that the time has come for this Board of Health to be denounced by all people of the nation, and what is left for the members to do is to leave this which is beyond their abilities for the good of the Hawaiian Nation.
