-OUTSTANDING FIGURE in the HISTORY of HAWAII to BE BURIED this AFTERNOON
Mrs. Kamaka Stillman, an outstanding figure in the history of the Hawaiian islands, died last night at 7:30 at the home of her son, Oliver Stillman, 236 School street.
Born January 1, 1823, at Awini, Kohala, Mrs. Stillman the great granddaughter of Chiefess Kahaopulani, who reared Kamehameha the Great, witnessed the rise of modern civilization in the territory in all it's phases. With her 101 years she was the oldest living mark of the islands.
Today thousands of Hawaiians, as well as a multitude of other friends, are grieving over the loss of a dear companion. Even though it has been known for several days that death was near and for nights chants had been sung about the bedside, the fact that the aged Ali'i has gone is sadly realized by many.
Lilies, asters and floral offerings banked the resting place of the casket this morning at Williams mortuary when descendants and friends gathered to pay tribute to the historic figure. The deepest of grief was displayed by old time friends present. The emblems of Hawaiian organizations of which Mrs. Stillman was a member decorated the casket and the chapel while associates of the orders served as attendants receiving the mourners.
Five generations of the Stillman family were assembled at the bedside at the time of Mrs. Stillman's death in company with the with the immediate relatives, her five children. Oliver and Charles, Mrs. John Cushingham, Mrs. Jennie Smythe and Mrs. Katie Stillman Drew.
The entire life of Mrs. Stillman was spent in the islands. At the courts of the Kamehemehas she was famed for her wit and beauty.
A year and a half ago she was honored when she celebrated the centennial of her birth. Governor and Mrs. Wallace R. Farrington, Princess Kalanianaole and other prominent persons of the community called upon her and presented her with leis and remembrances of the day.
Funeral rites will be conducted this afternoon at 3:30 at William's. Burial will be made in Nuuanu cemetery. Mgr. Stephen J. Alencastre, who attended Mrs. Stillman in her last illness, will officiate at the service. Members of Hui Kaahumanu, Daughters of Hawaii, Daughters and Sons of Hawaiian Warriors and Hale o na Alii o Hawaii, an organization in which Mrs. Stillman has been prominently identified, will be in attendance at the ceremonies.
Honolulu Star-Bulletin, Saturday, July 26, 1924
Recalling the days when Kamehameha the Great, in his infancy, was hidden from a king who had been warned against the coming of a conquerer, it was remarked that had it not been for the great grandmother of Mrs. Stillman the Kamehameha dynasty could not have ascended to power in Hawaii.
