Liked-Funeral Service.

Joaquin u. Camara, Sr., father OF
the well-known merchant, Mai. J. NJ.
Camara, died in this city yesterday at
ternOon, aged 81 years. He had been
suffering some years from an internal
trouble, and an operation was the final
resort to alleviate his ailment, which
remedy was unavailing in spite of the
efforts of the surgeon
Mr.. Camara came to this country
about twenty years ago with the sec
ond company of Portuguese colonists
from the Madeira Islands, and has.
with the exception of one visit to his
native land, been resident of these
Islands ever since.
Besides Maj. Camara he leaves a
widow at Hilo and two daughters,
who live in this city, Mrs. Henry Bell
and Mrs. Marques. Mr.. Camara has
been we'll known in the Portuguese
colony, and many friends mourn his
loss.
The funeral will be from the Ca
thedral Notre Dame du Paix, at 8
o'clock this afternoon.
Maj. Camara was at the encampment
of his regiment at RemonG Grove, and
was hastily summoned to the bedside
of his aged parent. He unfortunately
arrived too late to be present before
the death.
