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.
