    My Drift Title: Queen Emma Written by: Jerry D. Petersen Date: 31 Oct 2018 Article Number: 299-2018-23 Queen Emma Emma Kalanikaumakaʻamano Kaleleonālani Naʻea Rooke (January 2, 1836 – April 25, 1885) Emma was born on January 2, 1836 in Honolulu and was often called Emalani (“royal Emma”). Her father was High Chief George Naʻea and her mother was High Chiefess Fanny Kekelaokalani Young. She was adopted under the Hawaiian tradition of hānai by her childless maternal aunt, Chiefess Grace Kamaʻikuʻi Young Rooke, and her husband, Dr. Thomas C.B. Rooke. High Chief High Chiefess Fanny Dr. Thomas C.B. Rooke, Emma and George Naʻea Kekelaokalani Young Chiefess Grace Kamaʻikuʻi Young Emma’s father Naʻea was the son of High Chief Kamaunu and High Chiefess Kukaeleiki. Kukaeleiki was daughter of Kalauawa, a Kaua’i noble, and she was a cousin of Queen Keōpūolani, the most sacred wife of Kamehameha I. Among Naʻea’s more notable ancestors were Kalanawaʻa, a high chief of Oʻahu, and High Chiefess Kuaenaokalani, who held the sacred kapu rank of Kekapupoʻohoʻolewaikala (so sacred that she could not be exposed to the sun except at dawn). On her mother’s side, Emma was the granddaughter of John Young, Kamehameha I’s British-born military advisor known as High Chief Olohana, and Princess Kaʻōanaʻeha Kuamoʻo. Her maternal grandmother, Kaʻōanaʻeha, was the niece of Kamehameha I. Emma grew up at her foster parents’ English mansion, “The Rooke House”, in Honolulu. Emma was educated at the Royal School, which was established by American missionaries. Other Hawaiian royals attending the school included Emma’s half-sister Mary Paʻaʻāina.

  • The Records of the Wahiawa Settlement Association (1899-1939)
    M-453 Wahiawa Page 1 THE RECORDS OF THE WAHIAWA SETTLEMENT ASSOCIATION (1899-1939) Introduction The Wahiawa Settlement Association was formed in 1898 through the efforts of Mr. B.0. Clark. _The town was called the Wahiawa Colony, or locally known as the California Colony. This colony was the first systematic effort ever made on the island of Oahu by a group of people to demonstrate what can be done to grow a variety of crops and fruits for conunercial purposes. As the name indicates, the colony was largely composed of former residents of California, who had many years experience of fruit growing in California. One of the.main fruits grown was pineapple, and Wahiawa still remains a pineapple growing area today. This collection of records range from accounts, agreements, assets, correspondence, minutes of meetings and various other documents of the Wahiawa Settlement Association. The period covered by the records are the years between 1899 and 1939. Other informa­ tion on the Association can be found in Subject Index under Wahiawa, and the Wahiawa Settlement Association.

  • The Challenge Issued to Bishop Henry Bond Restarick (1854–1933)
    marilyn stassen-mclaughlin The Challenge Issued To Bishop Henry Bond Restarick (1854–1933) “Some people appear to think that the ‘spiritual life’ is a peculiar condition mainly supported by cream ices and corrected by powders. But the solid norm of the spiritual life should be like that of the natural life: a matter of porridge, bread and butter, and a cut off the joint.” 1 When he was elected the fi rst American Episcopal Bishop of Hawai‘i following its 1898 annexation to the United States, Hawai‘i was no “cream ice” for Henry Bond Restarick, but more like a “cut off the joint”—a challenge for his spiritual and administrative talents. In Restarick’s lifetime, many admired his faith-fi lled peacemaking skills, his conciliatory, decisive leadership style, and his dedication to research and writing. The bishop was contentedly serving his fl ock in San Diego when he heard he might be nominated Bishop of Kansas. His wife May said, “...impossible to live in the climate of Kansas.” Restarick agreed “. it was about the last place I wanted to live.” They were both relieved when on April 18, 1902, the House of Bishops sent him the telegram: “You have been elected Bishop of Honolulu on the fi rst ballot.” Restar- ick accepted the position.2 Marilyn Stassen-McLaughlin, retired Punahou teacher, contributed “Unlucky Star—Prin- cess Ka‘iulani” to The Hawaiian Journal of History, in 1999. She has published in Honolulu magazine, and contributed a chapter to The View from Diamond Head by Don Hibbard and David Franzen. She was asked to write this paper on Bishop Henry Bond Restarick and present it at a conference of NEHA, National Episcopal Historians and Archi- vists, held in Honolulu, June, 2005.

Guy Piltz, Consultant Jo Amanti Piltz, History Coordinator Collect for Saint James’ Day, July 25: Grant, O merciful God that, as thine holy Apostle Saint James, leaving his father and all that he had without delay was obedient unto the calling of thy Son Jesus Christ, and followed him; so we, forsaking all worldly and carnal affections, may be evermore ready to follow thy holy commandments, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Book of Common Prayer, 1892 KE AKUA ALAKA’ I Iā Kākou: THE LORD LEADS US. Led by God, a church is an expression of its people and their faith, and the founding of a new church is the result of the confluence of the hopes of holy people, the catalyst of a new priest, and the support of a bishop. In early 1912, all those elements joined in the village of Waimea on the Island of Hawai’i. In the wider world, 1912 was an important year. Woodrow Wilson was elected 26th President of the United States; Sun Yat Sen established the Republic of China; and the Titanic sank in the North Atlantic. On a more modest scale, in Waimea a dedicated group of Episcopalians bought a building and named their fledgling church Saint James’(see Appendix A).

  • Sun Yat-Sen's Christian Schooling in Hawai'i
    IRMA TAM SOONG Sun Yat-sen's Christian Schooling in Hawai'i IN DR. SUN YAT-SEN'S four years as a sojourner in Hawai'i (1879— 1883), he is said to have attended three Christian educational insti- tutions: Iolani College, St. Louis College, and Oahu College (Puna- hou School). His three years at Iolani are well authenticated. Whether he ever attended St. Louis cannot be substantiated by school records, but such a possibility exists. As for Oahu College, there is evidence to support the claim, though the time he spent there is not altogether clear. This essay attempts, by delving into the religious backgrounds of the three schools, their beginnings, their locations, and their cur- ricula, to suggest the nature of the imprint a nineteenth-century Christian environment would have made on the mind and heart of a young revolutionist. Much has been made of the Christian influence of Sun's years at Iolani, which led him to seek baptism and thus incur the wrath of his brother-provider, Sun Mei, who cut short Sun's Hawai'i education and sent him back to their native village of Ts'ui-heng in Hsiang- shan, Kwangtung province, for rehabilitation. It is unlikely that there had been any Christian influence in Sun's life before his departure for Hawai'i. It is doubtful that he ever saw a Christian missionary or evangelist while a youth. When the Rev. Frank Damon visited Hsiang-shan district in 1884, he found a chapel in Shih-ch'i, the district seat, and "a little company Irma Tarn Soong is executive director emerita of the Hawaii Chinese History Center in Honolulu.

Copyright, 1930, Honolulu Star-Bulletin, Limited Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii. U.S.A. FOREWORD “ EN OF HAWAII,’ is the fourth volume of bio­ graphical records in the regular series which has been published, beginning with l9l7, by The Honolulu Star­ Bulletin. This series aims to make available for the present, and to preserve for the future, the life stories of leaders in various fields of the Hawaiian Islands. It is a history of community and territorial progress, told in the form of biographical sketches, and the steady demand for the editions of previous years has abundantly illustrated its interest and its value. Both as a record of enterprise and achievement, and as a compilation of chronological facts, “Nlen of Hawaii" has be­ -comea standard reference work in Hawaii and abroad. Copies are sent all over the world. Libraries in distant cities call for the succeeding editions. Locally, the book is constantly in use. This book is Volume IV of “lVlen of Hawaii.” The first edition was in l9l7, the second in l9Zl, the third in I925. To a certain degree the present edition supplements and com­ plements “Builders of Hawaii” U925), with which was incorporated that year’s edition of ‘‘Men of Hawaii.” For the broadest coverage of Hawaiian biographical record, "Builders of Hawaii" and this l930 edition of ‘‘Men of Hawaii" should be treated as one work, and so maintained in reference libraries.

  • Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican Clergy in the Diocese of Honolulu 1862-1902 Final Edition (2012, Corrected 2018)
    Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican clergy in the diocese of Honolulu 1862-1902 final edition (2012, corrected 2018) The “Reformed Catholic Church of Hawai’i” began with the consecration of the first bishop of Honolulu, Thomas Nettleship STALEY in 1861. In 1872 the diocese became the “Anglican Church of Hawai’i”, under his successor Alfred WILLIS the second and final bishop of Honolulu. On WILLIS’s resignation in 1902, the see became the missionary district of Honolulu within the Episcopal Church of the United States of America, and in 1969 the diocese of Hawai'i. This biographical directory lists some 58 clergy who passed through the diocese of Honolulu in the first forty years of Anglican church life. Few priests were in the diocese more than a year or two. Several lives are evasive shadows. The Honolulu church initiative confronted a complex changing society in Hawai’i. Their royal patrons and the indigenous Polynesian people were pressed aside as the commercial interests of North American (and European) planters drove all before them. Their plantations were worked by imported Chinese and Japanese workers among whom the diocese did begin work. The inadequacies of diocesan leadership and the crippling lack of funding overwhelmed quixotic hopes, leaving a divided and worn Anglican remnant to be rescued by the Episcopal church of the USA in 1902. While these entries were compiled from the best evidence available, the compiler had no access to primary documents in Honolulu. The full Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican Clergy in the South Pacific (which includes about 1,500 priests) may be found on the Project Canterbury website http://anglicanhistory.org/nz/blain_directory/ That directory was compiled without funding but with assistance from hundreds of correspondents and agencies from 1991.
