DEATH OF DAVID KANEWANUI, EDITOR OF WEEKLY KUOKOA

THE LATE DAVID KANEWANUI.

THE many friends of David Kanewanui will learn with sorrow of his death, as the result of the gunshot wound received the evening of May 6. It occured early yesterday afternoon at the Queen’s Hospital.

David Kanewanui was born on the Island of Kauai twenty-six years ago. He graduated from Kamehameha School in 1894 and shortly afterwards accepted a position as teacher in the school at Olowalu, where he taught for two years. From Olowalu he went to the Hilo Boarding School, where he taught for another two years, coming from there to Honolulu to take a clerkship in the Auditor’s office.

Something over a year ago the Gazette Company was fortunate enough to secure his services as editor of the Nupepa Kuokoa, which position he filled with ability up to the time of the accident.

The popularity and circulation of the Kuokoa grew under his editorship, for his heart was in his work and he felt that he was doing something for his people. All subjects were handled for what he believed to be the best interests of the Hawaiians, and this being recognized, gave him great influence.

He was always courteous and pleasant and was a great favorite with his co-workers and with the young Hawaiians, many of whom looked to him for counsel and advice.

A fine baseball player, he was a member of the Kamehameha team and was captain of the Hawaiian Gazette Co.’s team.

The funeral, to be announced after the post-mortem, will take place from Kamehameha chapel.

THE EDITOR OF THE “KUOKOA,” DAVID KANEWANUI HAS PASSED.

[For the translation of this article, see the following post, from the mirrored article appearing in The Hawaiian Gazette, 5/23/1902, p. 5. The last paragraph however does not appear in the English and reads:]

With feelings of anguish, the newspaper Kuokoa, “The Foremost of the Hawaiian People,” [“Ke Pookela o ka Lahui Hawaii”] offers its never-ending aloha to the one who passed, David Kanewanui; and to his mother, his children who are left without a parent, and to the family as well who are overcome with mourning, our never-ending love. “His soul returns to heaven, and his body to the earth.” Aloha to this youth whose life in this world was taken so early.

(Kuokoa, 5/23/1902, pp. 1 & 6)

(From the Wireless Telegraph.)

HILO, SEPTEMBER 3.—AN EARTHQUAKE SHOOK HERE AT 6:40 A. M.

SOME HUNDREDS OF DEAD FISH WERE GRABBED FROM THE SEASHORE, SOON AFTER THE QUAKE.

THE NUMEROUS DEAD FISH WAS BECAUSE OF THE HEAT OF THE SEA CAUSED BY HEAT RISING FROM BENEATH THE SEA AT KEAUKAHA.

Keaukaha is an area five miles away from Hilo, on the edge of the Bay, close by the recreation area of the Severances.

HILO, September 4.—We were visited by another Earthquake this morning at 5:15. The people at the Volcano House [Hale Luapele] did not feel it, but those at Mountain View did.

ENTERTAINING THE MULTITUDES ON K. G. U., JOHN PALIMOO, JR.

He is a member of the Firemen’s Glee Club [Kalapu Himeni], the one who entertained the pubic many a time on K. K. U. [K. G. U.] recently, receiving acclaim because of his new way of playing on his guitar, making it sound like bells.

[Notice the first line on the right column. On occasion, there will be a misplaced line or section, especially in the later years of the newspapers, and the line that reads “le ai iloko o ka muliwai he ekolu” seems to be out of place.

Does anyone have any information on this steel guitar player, John Palimoo, Jr.?]
