Description An account of the resource Agnes Baldwin Alexander (July 21, 1875 - January 1, 1971) Ms. Alexander is best known as the first Bahá’i of Hawai`i and the missioner who carried the faith to Japan and eastern Asia. She was the youngest of five children born to William DeWitt Alexander* and Abigail Charlotte (Baldwin) Alexander and granddaughter of two mission families - Reverend William and Mary Ann Alexander and Reverend Dr. Dwight and Charlotte Baldwin. Born in Honolulu, she attended Oahu College (now Punahou School) and furthered her studies in education at the University of California at Berkeley and at Oberlin College. She worked at Punahou school assisting in the kindergarten, then as a second-grade teacher from 1898 to 1900. Due to ill health, she toured North America and Europe in 1900. “It was in far off Rome,” Miss Alexander wrote, that she received the “Light of this New Day.” She learned from Mrs. Charlotte Dixon about Bahá’u’lláh, prophet-founder of the Bahá’i faith, as a new messenger from God. After three meetings with her, Agnes wrote she could not sleep, “an overwhelming realization came to me, which was neither a dream nor vision, that Christ had come on earth.” She embraced the Bahá’i cause that morning, November 26, 1900. `Abdu’l-Bahá, son of Bahá’u’lláh and head of the faith, wrote Ms. Alexander requesting her to return to Hawai`i to spread the New Gospel. As Bahá’i believe God to be the author of all the world’s major religions, Ms. Alexander regarded her Bahá’i missionary work as an extension of her grandparents’ efforts. Returning to Honolulu, she lived with her parents and sister Mary, however the new religion upset her parents. She wrote: “Among my relatives a rumor had spread that I had taken up some strange belief. I had to show through my life, and not be words, the great happiness that had come into my life.” She continued her Bahá’i teaching quietly, patiently and person-to-person, eventually gathering together a small group of local believers. The first public opposition to Ms. Alexander’s new beliefs came from her father. In November 1909, two itinerant Bahá’i teachers stopped in Honolulu. Ms. Alexander persuaded her father to let them deliver their first address on the lanai of the Alexander home in Makiki. Afterwards Professor Alexander wrote a newspaper editorial critical of the faith. After her parents’ deaths in 1913, Ms. Alexander sailed to America and received a letter from `Abdu’l-Bahá directing her to travel to Japan to introduce the faith. For twenty-three years she labored to spread the Bahá’i faith in Japan and eastern Asia, including Korea and China. She supervised the translation and publication of Bahá’u’lláh and the New Era into Japanese and assisted in the translation of that work into Japanese Braille as well. During visits home to Hawaiʻi, Ms. Alexander introduced Bahá’i teachings on Maui, Kauaʻi, and Hawaiʻi Island. She initiated a Bahá’i children’s class in 1927 and broadcast in 1933 over the radio. Ms. Alexander earned many distinctions for her work with the faith, and her longevity enabled Ms. Alexander to see the results of her work when, in 1964 the first National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’is of the Hawaiian Islands was formed. Ms. Alexander’s seventy years of service to her beloved faith is unparalleled among the Bahá’is of the Western world. Today Bahá’is from around the world visit this site to honor this extraordinary woman of Hawai`i. As one believer has said, “It is not possible to convey to anyone who did not know her the strength of character possessed by Agnes—her extraordinary courage, her complete selflessness, the supreme degree of renunciation apparent in all her actions, and her unshakeable faith. She was a willing and loving thrall of the cause, and in her bondage, she was as free as the ‘divine bird’ `Abdu’l-Bahá had asked her to be.” *Ms. Alexander’s father, William DeWitt Alexander, also buried here, was born on the Mission Houses site and after serving as President of O`ahu College, became surveyor-general (1871-1901) of the kingdom as well as a recognized scholar and author.

Title A name given to the resource Anna Charlotte Rice Cooke Description An account of the resource Anna Charlotte Rice Cooke (September 5, 1853 - August 8, 1934) Anna Rice Cooke founded the wonderful Honolulu Museum of Art. The youngest child of missionaries William and Mary Sophia Rice, she lived a simple life as a child but later traveled, with her mother, brother-in-law, and his children, to Germany. Here she visited art museums which began her life-long love of art. Anna Rice married Charles Montague Cooke in 1874. The Cookes built a life in Honolulu’s center, first living with his parents at the frame house which you see across the street from this cemetery, then on Beretania Street, at the current site of the Honolulu Museum of Art. Mr. Cooke was a founder of the Bank of Hawai’i, and served as a trustee for the Bishop Estate. They created the Cooke Foundation which continues today to serve the community through art, humanities, and educational grants. When her husband died, Anna traveled to Asia and Canada with her daughter, and as they traveled they collected paintings, drawings, sculptures, porcelain, and textiles. She enjoyed displaying her treasures at home but eventually decided that the best thing she could do with all of these things was to create a museum so everyone could enjoy them. In 1920 she moved from Beretania Street to Makiki Heights, and her house was torn down and the museum was built on the site. Central to the museum's idea was her philosophy that art was for everyone, and specifically everyone in Hawai’i. She wanted Hawaiian architecture for the building and followed a plan of displaying only some of the work at any given time in order to create a harmony between display spaces and the pieces themselves. When the building was finished and displays created, she invited schools to visit, and if that were impossible, she took photo reproductions of pieces, and sometimes the pieces themselves, to rural schools. She was the first woman in Hawai’i to obtain a driver’s license, in order to accomplish these visits. Because she felt so strongly about the place of art in education, she called the museum The Honolulu Academy of Art, so that its role in the lives of the people would not be forgotten. The name of the institution was changed in 2012.

Title A name given to the resource Artemas Bishop Description An account of the resource Artemas Bishop (December 30, 1795 - December 18, 1872) For over two years young Artemas Bishop felt the call to missionary service while engaged in his studies at Union College, New York, and later Princeton Theological Seminary in New Jersey. “It is the Sandwich Islands Mission in which I have been most interested from the first, & to which of all places I had rather go…” Bishop was born in Pompey, New York on December 30, 1795. Near the time of his departure to Hawaiʻi, he met and married Elizabeth Edwards, a childhood schoolmate of Lucy Goodale Thurston, with whom she shared a dream of missionary service. The Bishops arrived in Hawai`i April 23, 1823, on the ship Thames, as part of the second company of missionaries sent to the islands by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Their assignments took them from Honolulu to Kauai and to Kona on Hawai`i Island, where they worked alongside the Thurston family. There they had two children. Bishop had shown a talent for languages while attending college. In Hawaii, he used that talent to translate, with fellow missionaries and Hawaiian advisors, parts of five books of the New Testament and seven books of the Old Testament. In addition, he translated six mathematics books, wrote a Hawaiian-to -English phrase book, and translated Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, then the second most popular book in the world. In 1823, Bishop took part in a three-hundred-mile exploratory expedition on foot and by canoe, around the island of Hawai`i with Asa Thurston, Joseph Goodrich, a guide, Makoa, a mechanic by the name of Harwood, and the English missionary William Ellis, undertaken to scout sites for new mission stations. Elizabeth Bishop died in February of 1828, and Bishop remarried by the end of the year. His second wife was Delia Stone, who raised Bishop’s children in Kona and in ‘Ewa, O`ahu, where the Bishops were later stationed. In ‘Ewa, Bishop’s mission became that of assuring the succession of ministers for the Congregational Protestant church through the ordaining of native Hawaiian pastors. In later years Bishop made a voyage to the Marquesas Islands as part of a deputation from the ABCFM. After returning to Hawai`i, he became a surveyor for the government, earning enough that he and his wife, upon leaving the mission’s work, were able to build a house in Honolulu, where they spent their last days.

Title A name given to the resource Charlotte Fowler Baldwin Description An account of the resource Charlotte Fowler Baldwin (November 7, 1805 - October 2, 1873) Charlotte Baldwin came to the islands of Hawaiʻi with her husband of six months in the fourth company of missionaries sent by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, the ABCFM. She was a well-educated woman who had dedicated herself to religion at the age of sixteen. As a very young woman she supported herself by teaching young New Englanders in her native Connecticut. In 1830, at the time of their sailing for the islands aboard the bark New England, Charlotte was twenty-five, her husband, Dwight Baldwin, a medical doctor who also held a degree from Andover Theological Seminary, thirty-two. They had married within a week of meeting, as Mr. Baldwin had been accepted to go with the fourth company but the ABCFM insisted he be married. Charlotte’s new life took her from Honolulu to Waimea on Hawaiʻi island, to Lahaina on Maui, where she spent thirty-five years. She held classes in each of those mission stations, teaching sewing, singing, knitting and bible studies, for classes of women. She raised a family of six children and schooled them at home. This filled her days while her husband was doctor to the mission and Native Hawaiians, a task that often required him to be gone for days and weeks at a time. The Baldwins brought to the islands a library of 125 books, including medical, history and science texts, which aided them in their work and in the children’s education. Apart from one return trip with her family to New England, Charlotte spent the rest of her life in Hawaiʻi. In time, the Baldwins moved to Honolulu to live with their daughter Abigail and her husband William Alexander. There, Charlotte continued her missionary work until her death in 1873. Charlotte is still remembered for her open hospitality toward friends and colleagues traveling between the outer islands and Honolulu. The Baldwin family home which consists of two stories, built of plastered coral blocks two-foot thick, is now a museum which can be visited in Lahaina, Maui. Her descendants continue to contribute to Hawaiian society. Charlotte Fowler Baldwin born November 7, 1805, White Hollow, Connecticut Died October 2, 1873, Punahou, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi.

Title A name given to the resource Elizabeth Edwards Bishop Subject The topic of the resource Elizabeth Edwards Bishop (June 2, 1798 - February 21, 1828) Elizabeth Edwards Bishop’s death is well documented. We stand here at her headstone, a memorial that will forever name her as “The First Of The Missionary Band To Enter Into Rest.” She was the first adult death in the mission. In life, Mrs. Bishop was a vibrant woman. Those who knew her described her as intelligent, hardworking, and a pleasure to know. Elizabeth Edward’s mother and father both died when she was young, and Elizabeth became self dependent at an early age. She excelled in her schooling at Bradford, a co-educational institution in North-Eastern Massachusetts, and grew into a “cheerful,” “hopefully pious” young lady. There, she became close friends with a young Lucy Thurston, another future member of the missionary band. After some time as an educator, Elizabeth Edwards was introduced to Artemas Bishop. Both had applied for the Sandwich Islands Mission, him as a missionary and her as a missionary assistant. Both were accepted, and they were married less than two weeks before the ship set sail to Hawaiʻi in 1822. In a twist of fate, Elizabeth’s childhood friend, Lucy Thurston, was accepted as well, and they were reunited when the Bishops were stationed in Kailua-Kona in 1824. The pair were fast friends. According to Mrs. Thurston, Mr. Bishop said that the two of them were “so alike in their ideas and plans he thought we were born under the same planet.” For the next few years, Elizabeth was a hardworking missionary assistant in a state of good health. She “exerted herself” thoroughly in educational affairs, such as the day school and Sunday school, and regularly attended the Friday meeting for women. She and Artemas had two children, but the good times were not to last. After the birth of Sereno, her second child and only son, Elizabeth’s health began to decline. A doctor in Honolulu said that her illness was dyspepsia, a stomach ailment. A later exhumation showed that her lower spine was contorted into a prominent curve, one that must have caused her great suffering. Whatever the cause, the local doctor was not able to aid in her suffering. As Lucy told it, Elizabeth died peacefully. Near midnight on her last day, there was a lull in her pain. “‘Let me depart in peace’, she said calmly, and fell to sleep as peacefully as the infant in its mother’s arms.” She was 31 years old, and her son had just turned one. Sometime later, a letter was found tucked away in a secret drawer of Elizabeth’s writing desk. Dated October 10, 1816, the note was written by a Nanny Batchelder from Bradford Academy, six years before she would leave for Hawai’i and eleven before her death and presumably kept with her all that time. The note read: Miss Elizabeth Edwards. May guardian angels all your steps attend, And every blessing crown my dearest Friend, In every state may you most happy be And when far distant, sometimes think of me Elizabeth Edwards Bishop Born June 2, 1798, Marlborough, Massachusetts Died February 21, 1828, Kailua-Kona, Hawaiʻi “Bishop, Artemas - Missionary Letters - 1822 - Bishop, Elizabeth Edwards papers,” Hawaiian Mission Houses Digital Archive, accessed May 19, 2022, https://hmha.missionhouses.org/items/show/270.

Title A name given to the resource Juliette Montague Cooke Description An account of the resource Juliette Montague Cooke (March 10, 1812 - August 11, 1896) Juliette Montague was a resourceful young woman in Sunderland, Massachusetts when she met Amos Starr Cooke in 1835. She had lost her father ten years earlier and had immediately begun supporting herself as a seamstress, after which she worked at a school in Amherst, Massachusetts, in order to attend classes. She was also allowed to attend lectures at the nearby Amherst College, as well as being associated with Ipswich Seminary, then run by Mary Lyon, who went on to form Mount Holyoke Seminary. She was a teacher and a faithful member of her church, and had thought to become a missionary before meeting Amos Cooke, a young man determined to join the missionaries already settled in Hawaiʻi. Thus they were suited for their journey with the Hawaiian Islands Mission. Juliette and Amos married in 1836 and sailed three weeks later, aboard the ship Mary Frazier, arriving in Honolulu as members of the eighth company of missionaries sent by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in 1837. The aliʻi, the Hawaiian ruling class, desired that the missionaries create a school for their children who would one day represent and rule over the islands. The ali’i wanted their children to be able to move in the larger world, fluent in the English language and with a knowledge of western culture. After some time teaching general education classes, the Cookes were singled out to take on the schooling of twelve children at what was called the Chiefs’ Children’s School, later known as the Royal School, assisted by John Papa ʻĪʻī and his wife Sarai. With these guardians, the children blossomed. The youngest would become Liliʻuokalani, the last queen of Hawaiʻi. The school closed in 1850 when the last child eligible to rule the islands came of age. Juliette and her husband moved to the frame house which you see across the street from this cemetery. Amos joined forces with Samuel Northrup Castle to form Castle and Cooke, a mercantile company which survives today. Juliette raised her seven children while teaching the royal children, and when the family returned to the Mission Houses, continued to teach by overseeing Kawaiahaʻo Female Seminary and teaching Sunday School. She made three voyages to her native America.

Title A name given to the resource Levi Parsons Bingham Subject The topic of the resource Levi Parsons Bingham (December 31, 1822 - January 16, 1823) An unobtrusive gravestone commemorates the first burial in the Kawaiaha‘o cemetery missionary plot. A white common stone rectangle about 18 inches tall is marked with an inscription chiseled by a stone worker with the words of pioneer Hawai‘i missionary company leader Hiram Bingham. The graceful lettering reads in part: “LEVI PARSONS, died Jan. 16, 1823, aged 16 days.” The death of newborn Levi Parsons Bingham, the first-born child of the Rev. Hiram Bingham and his wife Sybil Moseley Bingham, resulted in a key turning point for the good in the relationship of the royal Hawaiian Ali‘i and the early missionary families stationed in Honolulu. The Binghams baptized the child, suffering from jaundice, a day before his death. The Sandwich Islands Mission Journal for January 15, 1823 reads: “At a meeting of the family, the king, queen and several chiefs, brother and sister B’s babe, called Levi Parsons was dedicated to Christ, by baptism. It was a truly interesting scene.” Kuhina nui Ka‘ahumanu and her husband King Kaumuali‘i offered condolences to the Binghams when Levi Parsons Bingham died the next day. Hiram’s journal gives us a clue to the story behind his son Levi’s name. “L. Parsons Bingham, at the age of sixteen days, passed away suddenly, as did the dear missionary in Alexandria, whose name he was expected to bear, and by which he had been baptized.” Levi Parsons earned a foreign missions minister-qualifying degree along with Hiram at Andover Theological Seminary in Massachusetts. But their most poignant tie lies in the life of a missions-minded school teacher named Sybil Moseley from Westfield, Massachusetts. Sybil and Hiram’s daughter Lydia Bingham Coan remembered the story of her mother meeting Hiram at Goshen: “The name attracted him at once. A fellow student at Andover designated to the mission in Palestine to which it was not thought wise by the ABCFM to send married men had told him that if he were allowed to take a wife Miss Sybil Moseley would be his choice. As the young man now heard the name, he earnestly scanned her face and mentally queried if it could be possible that the lady so esteemed by his friend, but supposed to be at the far west was here before him! Ah, yes! The Lord had led her there. Providence was wondrously opening another door.” Levi Parsons and his fellow missionary Pliny Fisk were the sole members of the pioneer Palestine Mission of the ABCFM. Levi died of consumption in Alexandria, Egypt on February 5, 1822 at age 29. His body was interred in the church yard of a Greek Orthodox convent in Alexandria alongside the dead of the English expatriate community who dwelt in Alexandria. News of his death reached the Binghams almost a year later in Honolulu through a report in a copy of the Missionary Herald sent aboard a ship carrying mission supplies headed for Hawai‘i. Hiram wrote of his son’s burial, “As strangers and sojourners…we felt the affecting necessity of asking of the rulers a burying-place among them. A spot of ground near the church was, according to our wishes, readily granted us. There, with mournful but not desponding feelings, we broke the ground to deposit the beautiful flower that had fallen, where we expected the mission family would, one after another, be gathered around it, and where we should choose to be buried when our work is done. The funeral services and burial took place on the Sabbath, the 19th of January. The king and his principal chiefs, male and female, several foreign residents and others, assembled at the mission house and walked in procession to the church, where Mr. Thurston preached an appropriate sermon. We then drew around the grave, and with tenderness laid the little sleeper in its lonely, silent bed….” Thus was established the site of today’s Kawaiaha‘o missionary cemetery plot.

Title A name given to the resource Maria Ogden Description An account of the resource Maria Ogden (February 17, 1792 - April 3, 1874) “By her own estimate, she had under her training in her various schools over a thousand Hawaiian girls.” So ran the article in The Friend, the mission newspaper, of Maria Ogden. Miss Ogden grew up in Philadelphia and New Jersey. She found a calling to missionary life and with glowing references was accepted as part of the Sandwich Island Mission. She sailed to Honolulu in 1828, part of an unusual contingent that included four unmarried women. Maria Ogden began her missionary life at Waimea, Kauaʻi, living with Peter and Fanny Gulick. Soon, however, she began to teach small classes, and in 1829 was reassigned to Lahaina, Maui, where she once more assisted a mission family, this time the William Richards family. She taught day school and Sunday school to a large group of children. She was called to teach, and within the decade had moved on to lead the Wailuku Female Seminary, where she remained for twenty years. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mission closed that school in 1849. Miss Ogden then opened a smaller school, still in Wailuku. She adopted two orphaned sisters, Ellen and Isabella Holden. One of her students, Naomi Maka, became a missionary to the Marquesas Islands when she married a young Hawaiian pastor, James Kekela. Their first child they named Maria Ogden Kekela, such was their affection for Miss Ogden. When the Kekelas sailed for the Marquesas they were warned not to bring the children because the situation in the Marquesas, as far as safety was concerned, was uncertain. Maria Ogden took in Maria Ogden Kekela and her younger sister Susan to join the Holden sisters and raised them as her own. When she was called to Honolulu to assist the principal of Oahu College (Punahou School) in 1858, the children went with her and helped her in the creation of a school for girls in Makiki. She led this school for another ten years, and then enjoyed a further seven years of peaceful retirement. Maria C.
