HOOMANA'O ANA I NA HOA LAUNA ALOHA

MAI HA WA KAHIKO

In memory of our beloved unknown friends

of yesteryears found in unmarked graves

during the excavation of Queen Street.

These 102 beloved souls are committed unto

Almighty God, our Heavenly Father,

and their remains tenderly laid to rest

in peace in theis place.

November 20, 1988

"The souls of the righteous

are in the hand of God

and no torment will ever touch them"

Wisdom of Solomon 3:1-9

“During 1986 Church Archaeologists determined that the burials were not from ancient times, but beyond that nobody knows the circumstances surrounding them.  The bones were placed in 102 lauhala boxes, stacked neatly in a brand-new burial vault and recommited unto the Almighty in 1988…this time inside the cemetery.  At the corner of Queen and Punchbowl streets”. (via a face to face with Keiko D’Enbeau, Archivist, Kawaiaha’o Church and me)

My theory is that Joseph was one of the 102 found and there is no way of knowing for sure without unearthing the bones and doing a DNA test, which will not happen.  This is what I’m going with.
