Speaking of Hewahewa, the great kahuna o Kamehameha…, 1837.

[Found under: "DEATHS."]

Hewahewa died at Waimea, Oahu, Feb. 16; he was the great kahuna of Kamehameha during the time when the idols were worshiped.

He was ill for perhaps four months; his illness was like that of Kaahumanu’s final illness.

While he was sick, he was terrified of sins, and on the day that he died, he asked one of the brethren to pray often to God for him, and he prayed for himself in fear.

Blessed are those who hear Godʻs teachings while they are young, should they heed them.
