Prince David Laamea Kawananakoa
: Kahalepouili Piikoi was not only ere
ated a prince as a member OF the
KaIakaua dynasty, but he was de-
scended from lines of kingly ancestors
both of Hawaii and Kauai. and was
the great grandson of KaumuaIii, the
last king of Kauai. Prince David was
born February 49, 1868. at Kaala, at
the mouth of Pauoa Valley, Honolulu,
on the old homestead of Kapiolani,
queen-wife of King Kalakaua. He was
the son of the High Chief David Ka-
halepouili Piikoi and the Princess XII
noike Kekaulike. David Piikof was
the son of the Chief Piikoi and the
High Chiefess Kekahii, the latter be-
ing the sister of Kapakea, father of
Queen Liliuokalani, thereby making
the late Prince David second cousin
of the Queen. The Princess Kekaulike
was the daughter of the High Chief
| Kuhio and the Princess Kinoike, the
latter. as above stated, being the
daughter of King Kaumualii, last king
of Kauai, who relinquished his rights
| to the throne to Kamehameha the
Great. King Kaumualii married the
| Princess Kapuaamohu, his half-sister
| their mother being the Queen Kama
kahele. Prince Davids grandmother,
the Princess Kinioke, was called
''maupio," which means that she was
| the issue of two high chiefs, thereby
| giving her the highest rank known in
Hawaiian genealogy.
Prince David's great-grandfather
Kuhio, was a son of Laakea, a high
| chief, who in turn was a descendant
of Queen Kalanikauleleiaiwi, a queen
| of Hawaii. On both sides of the house
| Prince Kawananakoa comes from royal
/ lineage of Kauai and Hawaii.
| The Prince was educated under the
| late Alatau Atkinson and at Punahou
College, and later he became a stu
| dent at the San Mateo Military School
| in California. He was afterwards sent
to England, where he attended school
for two years, travelling much on the
continent and being received in many
of the royal courts of Europe. His
brother, Prince Kuhio Kalanianaole,
the present Delegate to Congress from
Hawaii, accompanied him throughout
Europe
When King Kalakaua was crowned
in 1883 (about nine years after his
accession to the throne of HawaiD, /
Prince Kawananakoa, with his two
brothers, Edward and Kuhio, was Gre
ated a Prince of the Crown of the
Kalakaua dynasty, so that he would |
be in line of succession to the thrones
as Kalakaua II. The Prince was al |
ways present with the King at state |
receptions, banquets and Ievees, and |
on all formal occasions he received |
with His Majesty. Whenever the
King made calls aboard foreign war
ships, Prince David accompanied him.
After the death of Kalakaua, the |
Princes David and Kuhio resided with
the widowed Queen Kapiolani, mainIyf
at her home in Waikiki, which is now
the home of Prince Kalanianaole. #
In 1900, when Hawaii became Ter1
ritory, Prince David was the canddate1
of the Democratic party for Delegated
10 Congress, running against Colonel |
Samuel Parker, Republican, and Rob-
ert wilcox, Home Huler, the latter be-
ing elected. Prince David was also
one of the delegates to the Democratic
Convention at Kansas City in 1900. The
handsome silk banner borne to Kansas
City by the delegates is now an orna-4s
ment of the Kawananakoa home Oh
Pensacola street.
On January 6, 1902, Prince Kawana-
nakoa married Miss Abigail Wahika-
ahuula Campbell, daughter of the late
James Campbell at the old Occidental
Hotel, San Francisco, just three days
after the marriage of her mother, Mrs
Abigail Campbell, to Colonel Samuel
Parker at the same place. On the oc-
casion of the Kawananakoa nuptials,
Archbishop Reardon, Bishop Mont
gomery and Father Prendergast offici-
ated. The entire party went to Wash
ington, D. c., to spend their honey
moon, remaining there two weeks, and
then returned to Honolulu.
For the past four years Prince and
Princess Kawananakoa have resided at
their attractive home in Pensacola
