Obituary search. 2012.

I came across an ambitious work—alphabetical lists of names from newspaper obituaries, and thought i should post it here. There is a note saying, “The following information was acquired from index cards prepared and microfilmed by the Hawaii State Archives.  The following information is subject to human error. Indexing was of full obituaries only, not death notices.”

And they further state that, “All are incomplete, till I find more time to work on them.” I totally understand how that goes…

I think that these sorts of listings are important, as it allows you to browse when you aren’t exactly sure of who you are looking for, and maybe that would draw connections you never would have imagined.

One of my dream lists would be one master list, of births, deaths, and marriages, along with which newspaper and issue (and page) that information came from!

Death notice, 1912.

[Found under: “Local News”]

This past Tuesday [1/30/1912], Waihokaea Waiwaiole (f) expired, at 51 years of age, at Manamana. She is a blood relative of Captain Duke Kahanamoku.

[Notice that in the previous Vital Statistics column, it gives “Waihoikaea” passing away on Aloe Lane, January 30. Here, the name given is “Waihokaea Waiwaiole.” To get all possible information, it is important to look at all the different newspapers available, because you never know what additional information will be given. Name variations like the one here are also tricky…]

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT ABOUT THOSE THAT GET MARRIED, GIVE BIRTH, AND DIE.

I request of everyone of Hawaii nei: the Schoolmasters, teachers, school superintendents, and all people in general, to inform us immediately of the names of pe0ple who get married, and give birth, and die, in your area; they will be published together in the Hae Hawaii weekly so that the readers will see. That is how the haole papers work; those kinds of things are printed weekly. This is how to write in.

O Hae Hawaii; P. Kimo and E. Kalama were wed on the 5th of Ap. 1857, Lahaina; they were married by D. B.

Or like this. O H. H. On the 5th of Ap., 1857, Kahale died at Waialua, Oahu, at 35 years of age. He died of fever.

Or like this. O H. H. On the 5th of Ap. 1857, Aka was born, a son, to Kamai and Kahele, at Kaupo, Maui.

That is how they will be printed succinctly, and they will be published all together in the Hae every week; the church members and friends from afar will be happy to read this sort of thing. Therefore, everyone be alert to these things. Let the Schoolmasters and all educated people be encouraged so that this information is given at promptly. Inform us of when a child is born, so too when someone dies, and when people get married. That is how it is done in enlightened lands; and this indeed is an enlightened land; the time of ignorance has passed. Report it all to the Head of the Hae Hawaii, J. Fuller.

ARMSTRONG.
