EVENTS OF
THE WEEK
ON MAUI

MAUI Nov. %. Tuesday the 18th.
Rev. J. Kamakele OF Kula. a we'll
known, and prominent citizen Of Maui
died of blood poisoning at his residence
at Keokea. His death was sudden
one. Hale and hearty he had trav-
eled much on horseback during the re-
cent political campaign though several
DAYS prior to the election he complained
of a swollen leg caused by some dis
order Of the blood. This. as he thought,
trining illness was the cause OF his most
unexpected demise. His death to Maui
kamaainas seems like the removal of
some ancient and familiar landmark,
for he was born at Keawakapu. a little
village near MAIZENA,, in 1881, and dur
ing the Il years of his life has been a
continuous resident of Maui.
Mr. Kamakele was leader in the re
lieious. social and political life of the
Hawaiian residents of Kula and vicin-
ity. He was beloved by natives and
foreigners alike for his kindly dispo-
sition, gentle manners. and his un-
bounded hospitality. No stranger, how
ever humble, was ever turned away
from his hearthstone. The welcome
was always the samoa most whole
souled one alike to annexationist or
royalist, to Home Ruler, Democrat or
Republican.
For many years past he had been the
pastor of the large adobe church at
Keokea. Several times he has repre-
scented Maui in the Legislature and
once was taX-assessor of Makawao.
Not wishing to offend his Home Rule,
Democrat or Republican friends, he
ran as an independent candidate for
Senator during the last election and
was unsuccessful. The funeral, which
took place Wednesday afternoon at the
Keokea church, was largely attended
by residents of Kula, Ulupalakua and
Maizena,. In the absence of any min
lister several of the old church members
conducted the last sad rites. Messrs.
Kapohakimohewa and Napulou of Ma
kena and Benz. Pahau, president of the
Pulehuiki Mormon church made ad-
dresses eulogistic of the deceased. The
pall-bearers were Messrs. Noah Kama
kau, u. II. Aukai, j. Kamakele. Jr,
Palaile, Halaulani, and David kama.
A widow and several children mourn
the loss of a husband and father.
