DITOR ADVERTISER Kindly al
~ low me space in your valuable
paper for a delayed answer to an
accusation and false statement fur
nished the Evening Bulletin of Deem
Der 24th, by an irresponsible pretender,
who makes an extreme effort in con-
tradicting an article in the Pacific
Commercial Advertiser of December IL.
1t being the twenty-fifth anniversary
of our wedding, 1 took no heed at that
time of the hideous fabrication given
and signed "Pueaamakakaualii' (Which
name was lately adopted by a Mrs. Ro-
salia Freemann), once servant girl to
the late Mrs. Kaumana Pilahinilani
KapoH Widemann, whose genealogy is
brought into question by her and 9TH
ers. Her mother Pupuka Cw.) still re-
mains a waSherwoman.
| OF late Mrs. Rosalia Freeman and
the well known and recognized author
| ity, a. K. Palekaluhi, have attained
a certain notoriety through their en-
deavors to indulge in genealogical
| discussions in some of the local papers,
borne out corroborated and supported
| by some others Chiefs of the kukuinut
| shade and earthkept popoloS), whom
| she refers to as my superiors. Who
| these people are and what claims they
| u, l.
stating few facts which will prove,
for very obvious reasons, how ground
| less their claims are, as well as this
high official fabrication of my calling
| on and attempting to secure $3.50, for
which I invited myself to furnish him
| his ancestors. How dare these people
| in their supreme impudence, scheme to
| bring the well known genealogies of
the Widemanns and myself into disre-
pute before the public, and to press
their own obscure ancestors to the
front as descendants of Kamehame
ha the Great. 1t would be ridiculous
were it not done with malicious intent,
and is only a further proof of their
ignorance. 1t is a well known fact
that the ancestors of the woman Ro-
salia Freeman hailed from Puma, Ha-
wall, where they were retainers under
Kaimuloa (k.), an ancestor of the
Coney family, and a chief OF that dis
trict. This alone, sufficiently SHOWS
that she is of low birth, and as fgnor-
ant and unfit to discuss ancient Ha-
waiian traditions as a japanese wash
erwoman is to discuss the politics of
today. For this reason. it would be
absurd to reply to any of her ques-
lions, and to the accusations which
she has openly made in the course of
her fraudulent statement, in which she
mas seen fit to attack, and for personal
reasons, and through ill-feeling, Ka-
lanikauikikilo Kalawaiakua Waikana-
kaole (w.) was the mother of my
great eat-grandmother, Kilioulani-
nuiamamao Hikaiwainui (wO, first born
to Kiwalao Ok.), son of Kalaniopuu (k), |
King of Hawaii, in the year 1854, long
after the death of Kualii (k.). She |
grew up under the care of three high |
chiefs, Naii (k), Kueue Ck-), Iwikaui-
kaua (w), Naili (k.), brother to Ka- |
makaimoku (w.), wife of kalaninuia-
maniac 1k.), Keuue, or kauokalani (k), |
q son to Naili (k.), and a great-great- !
grandfather to j. Nawahi and others, |
and the third was a very high chiefess, |
Iwika uikaua (w.). Her heiau still re- |
calls her memory in Kau, Hawaii, |
where my great-great-gra grandmother,
Observation-Disclosures Hikawainui (wo |
and her cousin, Kaleipaopao (w.), We're |
both brought up from childhood. She |
was married in the year 1880 to the |
chief warrior, Kapaka pilinuiaehu (k), |
grandson of Observation-Disclosures
Ck), and son of Kauloaiwi Ok.), |
In the year 1871 son was born to
them. He grew up under the care of |
kamehameha Kauokoa (k). and his
wife. Kiliwehi Cw). The latter died in
kaanapali District, in the same year.
