This is the first masthead of the newspaper, Ka Hae Hawaii. It is simple, but what more needed be said?
[Hae Hawaii was a four-page weekly that ran from March 5, 1856 until May 15, 1861.]

Short biography of the great Joseph Mokuohai Poepoe, 1912.
JOSEPH MOKUOHAI POEPOE
This candidate for the legislature in the Democratic party of Oahu nei was born at Honomakau, which is famous for the saying: “No youth of Kohala goes out unprepared” [“Aohe u’i hele wale o Kohala”]. This also is the birthplace of the Hon. H. M. Kaniho. He was born on the 27th of March, 1852. When he was small, he was brought to Honolulu. He entered into the districts schools [kula apana] here in Honolulu, and also in Kalauao, Ewa. And thereafter he attended the Royal School at Kehehuna, and its head Instructor was Mr. Beckwith. After two years there, he entered Ahuimanu College in Koolaupoko, under the instruction of the Fathers Elekenio, Remona, Livino, and the many other teachers. He was taught law in North Kohala under Judge P. Kamakaia. He returned here to Honolulu and studied law at the law school of W. R. Castle [W. R. Kakela], as well as at the law school of S. B. Dole. He studied law with lawyers Davidson and Lukela. In 1884, he received his full license to practice law in all Courts of Hawaii nei, and he still retains his law license. He was an editor for many of the Hawaiian-language newspapers in this town. Currently, he is the editor for KE ALOHA AINA. He was a teacher at the boarding school of Rev. E. Bond [Rev. E. Bona] in Kohala. He was the first to establish an English language school in North Kohala, Hawaii. He was an assistant teacher at the British Government School at Ainakea, under H. P. Wood, and thereafter under E. N. Dyer. For many years he tried to join the Legislature, so that the lahui would see him pass laws that would benefit the lahui in need; but the people did not assent. Now his hope is that it will be in the upcoming election that the voters will come through, making him a Representative, whereupon he will show his works for the good of the land and for the advancement of the lahui.
[Poepoe played a huge part in the history of the Hawaiian-Language Newspapers! I was happy to find this. Also, I just saw this morning more on the Catholic school at Ahuimanu on Nanea Armstrong-Wassel’s instagram page. Go check it out. There is a picture of the school as well!]

Historian J. D. B. Kuakahela dies at sea, 1899.
DIED AT SEA.
O Kuokoa Newspaper. Aloha oe:—Please flash across the four corners of Hawaii to Niihau, so that the wife, children and grandchildren see, being that they are in Honolulu, and also all of the friends and fellows of the one who died.
J. D. B. Kuakahela died on the 18th of February 1899 at Milolii, South Kona, Hawaii. When he went and was in the area where he wanted to fish, he was floating; we saw him fishing in that area, between the coast of Kalihi and Omokaa. When we looked once more, Kuakahela was no longer floating in that area, and we thought he sailed to some other place. Some minutes later, pieces of the canoe were seen broken into small bits, his fishing line container [poho aho], and his hat floated upon the shore. That is when we said, that is the canoe of Kuakahela; he is in trouble. I instructed W. J. Kaleimoku to go by canoe to search for Kuakahela, so he went to go look, and a number of hours later, he was found dead.
And thereafter a canoe arrived, and the boys aboard that waa were going fishing without knowing that Kuakahela met with disaster; they were told of the calamity and they went to bring him to the house, and when we got there, the waa with the body of the deceased, J. D. B. Kuakahela aboard, landed. His body was not bruised by the action of the ocean. He was one of the elders of this Church of Miloliii who passed on. Aloha no.
J. W. M.
—–
J. D. B. Kuakahela of South Kona, Hawaii, has died because a wave crashed onto his canoe while he was fishing. While he was living, he instructed that at his death, that he is to be buried with all of his newspapers, and this wish of his was carried out.
[That last comment is awesome. I bet I would have liked this man!]

English announcement of officers and writers of the Kuokoa, 1867.
English Column.
To Our Patrons.
The Kuokoa wishes all its English speaking Patrons and Friends, a Happy New Year!
The Newspaper Kuokoa, entering on its sixth volume, may now certainly be considered one of the permanent Institutions of these Islands. We purpose that it shall continue true to its name of “Independent” in every proper and noble degree;—more and more developing Hawaiian talent—contributing to good morals, and civilization, and above all, to the holy religion of Jesus.
We are happy in being able to announce that President W. D. Alexander of Oahu College, and the Rev. O. H. Gulick Principal of Waialua Female Seminary, will take part with the Editors of the last two years, in the Proprietorship and Editorial Supervision of the “Kilohana Pookela o ka Lahui.” All who understand aught of the labor, responsibility, and risk, involved in the preparation and publication of a good Newpaper in the Hawaiian Language, will have no difficulty in understanding that this enterprise is engaged in only from a sense of obligation to assist in elevating our Hawaiian Fellow Countrymen.
In addition to the above editorial force, the columns of the Kuokoa will be greatly enriched by the assistance of a large body of Special Contributors.
Mr. C. J. Lyons, whose very valuable contributions have added to the variety of our News and editorial Columns during the last six months, will assist still more systematically than before, having special charge of the preparation of Foreign News.
The Rev. Mr. Kuaea, Pastor of Waialua will write often. S. M. Kamakau, the native Historian of Hawaii nei will continue his invaluable series on Kamehameha V. The Rev. C. B. Andrews, of Lahainaluna, will write on Agriculture and Education, as heretofore. Messers. G. W. Kanuha, and D. Malo, will enliven our pages with contributions in general literature.
And last, but not least, the Rev. L. Lyons, the rightly called “Watts of Hawaii nei,” will continue to tune his harp to the beautiful songs of Zion inspired by the muse of Waimea, and will accompany them with his poetical annotations.
We are thankful to all Subscribers and Agents for their help during the year past, and we bespeak the same, and more, for the year 1867! L. H. Gulick,
Business Editor.
