Title A name given to the resource Maria Ogden Subject The topic of the resource Maria Odgen Missionaries Hawaii Cemeteries Biography Description An account of the resource Maria Ogden (February 17, 1792 - April 3, 1873) “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.

Title A name given to the resource Maria Paton Chamberlain Subject The topic of the resource Missionaries Biographies Hawaii Cemeteries Maria Paton Chamberlain Description An account of the resource Maria Patton Chamberlain (March 19, 1803 - January 19, 1880) Looking across Mission Lane, which divides this cemetery from the Mission Houses grounds, you will see the Chamberlain House, the tall stone-built building on the left. Imagine the yard full of children, and the continually busy storehouse receiving and sending goods. The Chamberlain House was the home of Maria Patton Chamberlain , her husband Levi, and their children during the years 1831 until 1877. Maria was born in Salisbury Township, Pennsylvania in the year 1803. Unusually for a missionary, her deep interest in religion was not shared by her family. She sailed as a missionary in 1827 as one of four single women in the third company of missionaries to the islands, on the ship Parthian. Her first assignment was as a helper to Reverend William Richards and his family in Lahaina, Maui. There she met Levi Chamberlain, the head of secular affairs for the mission, and they married soon after in 1828. Maria’s first home at the Mission Houses compound in Honolulu was a grass house; most of the early missionaries lived in them to begin with. By 1831, however, the Chamberlain House was built and the couple moved in. The Chamberlains had eight children: one died in infancy, but they raised seven children in the house, although the two eldest were sent back to the United States for schooling, as the earliest missionaries did not feel it safe to raise their children among the Hawaiians. Maria was particularly interested in child welfare and taught classes with a view to lessening the rate of child mortality in the islands. The congregation of Kawaiahaʻo church, which borders this cemetery, met at the mission compound each Sunday and Wednesday. Newly arrived missionaries were welcomed there. The annual meeting of all of the mission stations around the islands took place there. The Chamberlain House was busy with classes and home care of children and orphans. When her husband Levi died in 1847, Maria was forty-six. With a small inheritance from her husband, Maria continued her teaching, sending her children to Punahou School while supplementing her income by taking in boarders. She managed her business by herself, for the rest of her life, a further thirty-one years. Maria returned to the United States once to visit family and friends, in 1859. She is buried alongside her husband and five of their children in this cemetery.

She was born in the 1821 Mission House which you can see across the street from this cemetery. Mary followed her parents and grandparents into public service. She led the Morning Music Club, begun in 1905, a monthly meeting club for active local musicians and singers. She was a commissioner of the Department of Public Education and made it her mission to improve the quality of teachers. She campaigned for the opening of the first high schools on Kauaʻi and Maui, and helped to establish the Hawaii School for the Deaf and Blind. For many years she led the Women’s Board of Missions, whose causes included temperance, the establishment of Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese school and health departments, and from these, financial assistance was sent out beyond Hawaii to infant health clinics in South Africa, Egypt and China. With her husband, Theodore, Mary Atherton Richards gave property for the establishment of schools, an endowment for the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and gave Fernhurst, their family home, to the YWCA for the establishment of a home for working women.. They established Kokokahi, a camp in the beauty of nature for weary souls to enjoy a respite from their lives. Montague Hall at Punahou School was a gift from the Richards, and a foundation created for Mary Atherton Richards constructed a memorial chapel at the United Church of Christ in Nuʻuanu. Mary and her husband traveled the world to further their evangelical goals. Mary wrote for The Friend, the mission’s newspaper, and two books; The Chiefs Childrens’ School, an account of the work of her grandparents, Amos Starr and Juliette Montague Cooke as instructors and guardians of the chiefly children of Hawaiʻi in the 1800s, and a history of her grandparents, Amos Starr Cooke and Juliette Montague Cooke.

Title A name given to the resource Mary Tenney Castle Subject The topic of the resource Mary Tenney Castle Missionaries Biographies Hawaii Cemeteries Description An account of the resource Philanthropy, education and religion were the interests that drove Mary Tenney Castle’s life; that she carried out her work in those fields in the Hawaiian Islands was a fate decided by her elder sister, Angeline Tenney Castle. Mary became the second wife of Samuel Northrup Castle, a member of the Hawaiian Islands Mission who arrived in Hawaii with the eighth company of missionaries in April of 1837 aboard the ship Mary Frazier. He was accompanied by Angeline, who lived until 1841. When Samuel Castle returned to the United States in search of a new wife, it was Mary, his wife’s sister, that he chose. Mary’s honest assessment of herself as a Christian, saying that she would continue to question both her own religious view and that held within the spiritual foundation of the mission, made some on the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) question her fitness for the role of Samuel’s wife. The ABCFM gave the marriage a vote of confidence and she arrived in the islands in March 1843. She became the stepmother and aunt to Angeline and Samuels’s daughter Mary, and went on to have ten children more. When the ABCFM ceased the support of the Hawaiian Mission, Samuel joined forces with Amos Cooke, a missionary, and the two formed Castle and Cooke, a mercantile business. Samuel Northrup was not a missionary but a secular agent to the mission, one who had daily contact and correspondence with the mission stations. This situation created space for his wife Mary to pursue her interests, and within a short time her home became a meeting place for those interested in education of all types. Mary’s own education was considered radical at the time. She studied at the Deerfield Academy and was influenced by the popular movements of the time which opposed slavery and alcohol and supported women’s suffrage and prison reform. When Samuel died in 1894, Mary created the Samuel Northrup Castle Benevolent Trust which, under the name Samuel N. And Mary Castle Foundation, continues to serve the people of Hawaiʻi today.
