THE HONORABLE MOANAULI PASSES.
He Grew Weary of this Life at His Daughter’s Place in Waikiki.
After many months of his body growing thinner with sickness, the Honorable J. W. Moanauli passed away, this Monday morning at the home of this daughter, Mrs. Kanakanui, in Waikiki.
He was seen for many sessions of the legislature in the past, a representative from the island of Hawaii; and there were many important positions that he held during various times, up until he went to sleep for all times.
The Honorable Moanauli was born in Kohala, Hawaii. He was the child of Kainapau, the first cousin of the kaukau alii Naihe of Kohala, and his mother was Namoomoo, who was a kaukau alii from Kohala.
It was at Lahainaluna School where he was educated during his youth, and he was a lawyer practicing law. For a number of sessions of the legislature, he was chosen as the representative from Hawaii, and outside of that position, he was a judge, as well as a sheriff of Hawaii for several terms.
In the year 1881, J. W. Moanauli married Mrs. Henry A. Beers of Honolulu, and he leaves his widow and children and many grandchildren behind to grieve for him.
Mr. Moanauli was a stepfather [makuakane kolea] to Mrs. S. M. Kanakanui of Honolulu; Mrs. James Cornwell of Waikapu, Maui; William Henry Beers, the county attorney [loio kalana] of Hawaii; and Mrs. Namohala of Hilo.
[Much of the more detailed genealogical information is usually available outside of the regular Vital Statistics Column. Many times beginning in the early 1900s, there is a photograph attached to death notices.
Compare this to the Vital Statistics Column announcing John W. Moanauli's death in the same issue of the Kuokoa.]
