Prince David Laamea Kawananakoa
Kahalepouili Piikoi was not only Gre
ated a prince as member of the
Kalakaua dynasty, but he was de-
scended from lines of kingly ancestors
both of Hawaii and Kauai, and was
the great grandson of Kaumualii, the
last king of Kauai. Prince David was
born February 19, 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 Piikoi was
the son of the Chief Piikoi and the
High Chiefess Kekahili, 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 a
''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 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 1888 (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 throne
as Kalakaua II. The Prince was al
ways present with the King at state
banquets and levees, 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
he widowed Queen Kapiolani, mainly
1t her home in Waikiki, which is now
he home of Prince KalanianaoIe.

samuel Parker, Republican, and Rob-
TT Wilcox, Home Huley, the latter be-
