Notes for Erminam (Spouse 1)
-Born on Ship "Highflyer Bark"93
-Irmina was born on a sailing ship called the High Flyer that brought her parents and 2 siblings from San Miguel in the Azores, Portuguese islands, to the Hawaiian Islands.635,632
-Also known as (Medeiros, Aunt Minnie, Ermina Machado)
-About March 1922 when she was 41 yrs. and her son Edwin was 5 yrs., they left Honolulu for San Francisco onboard the “SS Manoa” and returned on the same steamer about June 1922.649
-Went to China w/TF on "President Coolidge". Left Honolulu 8/12/36. Stayed away for 3 months. Arrived in Honolulu 11/13/36 on the "Asunia Marau (sp)" - Returned from trip to Shanghai, China. Traveled w/TF and visited w/Chung Mo Yin, Chang Chow, Goo Wo, Wong Wai Wing, & Charles Goo. Signature. US Passport #9330, issued 4/13/36650,93
-Visited Dayton, Ohio with Mr. & Mrs. Peter Farm, Mr. & Mrs. Alfred Jacinth651
-When Manuel died, Irmina, who was uneducated, had 5 children to support. She took in washing. Her elder daughters, Helen and Adeline, delivered the clean, ironed clothes. We know this from Helen, who lived to be 102.635
-I, of course, remember a lot about my grandmother. I was her favorite probably because of the name. She bought the house next to us in Oakland, CA when my mother moved there after my parents divorced. Aunty Adeline, who was a widow, moved in. We lived there 2 yrs. Aunty Adeline lived there many years. My grandmother did not like the summers in Hawaii so every May she left on the Lurline (she did not want (afraid?) to fly) for San Francisco. Had the same cabin, porter etc. for years and she would return in the fall. While we lived in Oakland my grandmother took me on a car trip together with Aunty Lucille, Uncle Freddy (the only driver) and their two children Pat and Al from CA to New York City. Grandma Farm, as I called her, had promised to take me there. On that trip we stopped in Dayton, Ohio and that is the only time that I met Jean and Buzz. I met Uncle CK and Aunty FLo in Hawaii a few times.
When I write my memoirs I will indeed send you a copy. We should get Al to write a bit about that trip. We are the only two remaining who went on it. I recall a blue Buick. Uncle Freddy the only driver, Grandma always sitting in front (she was a large woman) and we children took turns sitting in the middle in front. Poor Aunty Lucille had to sit in the back with 2 of the children. This was in '48 or '49. I would have to look it up. I even have some photos95
-I do not know why Irmina Farm is buried at Diamond Head instead of Makiki but I can speculate. Her mother is buried there near her as well as one of her brothers I believe. Also, that cemetery is THE place that a lot of the Portuguese Catholics are buried. A number of my mother's family are also buried there.95
-My grandmother was the matriarch of the family. She was kind to me but she could be very strict and forbidding. I imagine that she and TF spoke english together. She spoke english with me with some Portuguese words thrown in. I do not think that she spoke Chinese...95
-Mortuary: Williams; Service: Sacred Heart Church634
-Grave: From the cross, go about 5 rows towards the entrance to cemetery69
