Left on the Path of No Return.

Lucy Koko Kahoalii has left for the other side of the world on the 1st of January 1894, and she left me and our children mourning for her in this world. She was born at Honokua, Kona, Hawaii, in 1840, and she was 54 years old when she passed. We were married by Rev. O. H. Gulick at Waiohinu, Kau, Hawaii, on the 8th of February, 18–, and we had fourteen children. Five have died and nine remain, and there is one hanai, totalling ten. We lived together in the covenant of marriage for 29 years. I and the children grieve for her. Aloha for the parent of the home. She was truly devout, and welcoming and hospitable to her intimates and friends.

It is me,
J. W. Kahoalii.

LEFT ON THE PATH OF NO RETURN

Lus Koko Kahoalii left for the other side of the world on the 1st of January 1894.

She left me and our children mourning for her on this side of the fathomless pit.

She was a good friend to all who visited our home; malihini were important to her.

She was a parent to orphans, she was truly devout until the last minutes of her life, until she let go peacefully. She was born at Honokua, Kona, Hawaii, in the year 1840, and she had 54 years of life. We were joined in the covenant of marriage by O. H. Gulick at Waiohinu, Kau, Hawaii on the 18th of February 1865. We had fourteen children; five died and nine remain; and there is one hanai child, totalling ten who are living. The number of years we lived together in the covenant of marriage were 29.

I remain with our children with much aloha for her.
