The Hon. P. KAMAI passed from this world at 8:30 in the evening of Thursday, April 18th, 1901, at the residence of his First child, a daughter, Mrs. L. M. KAILIULI on Liliha Street.
He leaves behind a number of children and grandchildren numbering 20.
Much sympathy to his whole family.

Keith James says:
I wrote a Wikipedia article on Lu Thompson Keouli (aka as Louis Keouli Thompson), who was my great-grandfather. He graduated from Kamehameha, class of 1900. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Keouli_Thompson)
THE QUEENS OF THE ISLANDS FROM THE LEFT—MISS MUNDON OF OAHU; MRS. MORTON OF MAUI; MISS WILHELMINA OF HAWAII; MISS MAHOE OF MOLOKAI; AND MISS SILVA OF KAUAI.
KAMEHAMEHA AND HIS KAUKAUALII AND THE IDOL GOD [AKUA KII].
[Yes, this was all done on George Washington’s birthday: the pāʻū riding and the reenactment of Kamehameha’s landing at Waikiki.]

I forgot that a clearer image of the opening of the Territorial Legislature of 1913 was posted earlier, taken from the original Kuokoa newspaper. Compare this to what is available online, in the previous post!

[Kuokoa 1913 should be “Buke XLIX” but the Volume number in this issue is mislabeled as “Buke L” and later issues are mislabeled as “Buke VL” and “Buke LI”. Eventually the rest of this year is labeled “Buke LI” and the following 1914 as a result is called “Buke LII”.
Hopefully one day soon the Hawaiian-Language Newspapers will be rescanned so we can see clearer images of pictures like these from its pages!]

[This seems to be the painting, “Diamond Head from Tantalus,” currently dated c. 1906–1908. But being that it appears here already in 1906, this would mean that it was definitely painted in 1906 (if Scott arrived in Hawaii that same year).]

[The digital images currently available are as i have previously lamented over not terribly clear. Even if images scanned from the originals would not be “photo quality,” it would still give us much more of a connection than with what we have here.
Would anyone know where these four houses stood, who they belonged to, and if they are still standing today?]

[Does anyone know where this room was? I am sure the original image in the newspaper is much more clear. This is yet another reason to reshoot the Hawaiian-Language Newspapers before it is too late and they crumble into pieces…]

Just for fun, here is a recent picture taken from a similar vantage point on Merchant Street the other year!

Merchant Street in 1903.
Photographed by the Advertiser [Adavataisa].
[I’m not sure if they meant to say “twenty years”, or if one of the pictures is mislabeled ten years off…]
