Death of Wakeke Ululani, 1921.

THE TRAVELING COMPANION OF QUEEN LILIU DIES.

After suffering illness for some time, Mrs. Wakeke Ululani grew weary of this life at six o’clock in the evening of this past Monday at her home at 13th Avenue in Kaimuki, at the age of eighty or more of this life.

Mrs. Wakeke Ululani was born on Maui, but for thirty years she was constantly with Queen Liliuokalani from the Queen’s youth until the passing of Liliu.

In the last days of the Queen’s life, Mrs. Heleluhe was constantly in her presence watching over her charge, just as when Liliu was queen of Hawaii nei, and all the places the queen went, she went there as well.

Once when the Queen traveled to Washington, Mrs. Heleluhe accompanied her.

Mrs. Wakeke Heleluhe was a member of the Kaahumanu Society. Her husband Joe Heleluhe, who served as Queen Liliuokalani’s secretary during the monarchy, passed on a long time ago.

A son and a daughter remain from the two of them. The son, Jack Heleluhe, is a singer in America; and when the ship Hawkeye State arrived in Honolulu nei some weeks ago, he was one who was aboard that steamship, on his was to Baltimore.

As for the daughter, Mrs. Myra Iona, she was one of the women in the presence of Queen Liliuokalani while she was alive, and she accompanied the Queen twice to Washington.

Her funeral was held at 3:30 in the afternoon of this Tuesday, from Williams’ mortuary and her remains were laid to rest at Kamoiliili cemetery.

A. F. Judd, November 25, 1893

Words of Alapaki Kauka

Here are some statements made by A. F. Judd at the Armory on 25 November 1893: “Either we work together or we will hang one by one.”

We ask A. F. Judd: “Will your working together save you all from hanging one by one because of your treason?”

We assure you, O A. F. Judd, that Queen Liliuokalani will indeed be reinstated in these coming days: “Can you show us reasons why this belief of ours lacks truth?”

Is it not true that you and your people know the clear reason for you all being terminated in the Provisional Government? Why have you falsely announced in the Kuokoa that the Queen will not be returned?

On Monday of this week, the Alii, the Queen went to where the amazing talking gourd, the ponogarapa was being shown to listen to the speaking of the Hawaiian Consul in New York with his own voice to the Queen from this talking gourd in English, thus:

I ka Moiwahine Liliuokalani o Ko Hawaii Pae Aina:–E oluolu e lawe aku i ko’u mau hoomaikai ma o ka hookomoia ana aku o ka ponogarapa a Edisona iloko o ke aupuni o Hawaii. E oluolu e hoomau ia ko ka Moiwahine ola maikai, a o kou lahui hoi me na manao maikai i ko makou lahui.

To Her Majesty Liliuokalani of the Hawaiian Islands:–Please to accept my congratulations on the introduction of Edison’s phonograph into the Kingdom of Hawaii. Please Your Majesty to continue to enjoy excellent health, and your people the good will of our nation.

I have the honor to be your most obedient servant,
Elliah H. Allen,
Consul-General of Hawaii.

On that very same day, the Queen spoke into that talking gourd, thus:

Owau keia o Liliuokalani:–

I am Liliuokalani:–

Today, the 16th day of November, A. D. 1891, is the birthday anniversary of King Kalakaua. Mr. Stoekle has kindly extended a most courteous invitation to myself and my companions; also the Princes Kawananakoa and Kalanianaole, and several ladies and gentlemen, to listen to the delightful things coming from this phonograph. Every true Hawaiian can never forget the memory of this day. This is a day that will produce in the hearts of all a deep aloha for Kalakaua, their late beloved sovereign. We shall long remember what we have heard from this phonograph today. This wonderful instrument excels in clearness to what we have heard before. The words and the kindly expressions of Hon. Mr. Allen of New York are produced with perfect distinctness. Such are the delightful qualities possessed by this machine. Aloha oukou.
