Title A name given to the resource William Kanui Description An account of the resource William Kanui (ca. 1796 - January 14, 1864) There are three names on Kanui’s memorial stone: Kanui, his birth name, meaning, The Big or Great One; William, a name given him by an American ship’s captain when he sailed as crew, and Tennooe, an anglicization of Kanui, used by his American friends. Kanui was an adventurous teenager. In the year 1809, when he was about 13 years old, he and his brother left the islands as ship’s crew. After touching at ports in the American northwest, they arrived at their ship’s home port of Boston, Massachusetts. A return to the islands was made impossible when the east coast of America was blockaded by the British during the War of 1812 The brothers took on farm work and then signed on as crew to several privateer ships licensed to confuse, attack and raid British ships. At the end of the war, the brothers sought to sign onto a ship returning to Hawaiʻi. Having found nothing between Boston and New York, they went to Providence, Rhode Island. In Providence, Kanui’s brother took ill and died. Kanui, alone for the first time in a foreign land, took up work near Yale College. Here Kanui met Henry ʻŌpūkahaʻia, a Hawaiian who had begun studying at the Cornwall Foreign Mission School, begun for foreign missionary students in the year 1817 by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM). ʻŌpūkahaʻia dreamed of taking his knowledge of the Christian god to his homeland, but died in February, 1818, with his fellow Hawaiians at his deathbed – Kanui included. Kanui was a member of the pioneer company of ABCFM missionaries to Hawaiʻi that left on October 23, 1819, from Boston. On the six-month voyage from Boston to Hawai`i, he and two fellow Hawaiians gave the mission band their first lessons in the Hawaiian language and culture. After the nearly six-month journey brought ship Thaddeus carrying the mission to the islands, Kanui was chosen with Asa and Lucy Thurston, John Honoliʻi and Dr. and Mrs Holman to set up a mission on Hawaiʻi Island, while the rest of the party continued to Oʻahu. Kanui became friends with the King and joined in his drinking and games, which was frowned upon by the mission to the point that Kanui was excommunicated from the mission church. He did not repent and not long after sailed for the American continent. The teachings of the church did not leave him, however, and one day, working in a forest cutting wood , he heard a voice calling for him to repent and return home. He returned to Hawaiʻi, returned to the church, and began an English school in Palolo Valley, Oʻahu. It was a spiritual success but difficult and expensive to run. In 1848, he decided to go to California and find his fortune in the California gold fields. He left the islands with a letter from the office of foreign affairs of Kamehameha III, giving him a list of directions for Hawaiian natives then in California, encouraging them to be upright in their behavior and to return to the islands when they had made their fortunes. Kanui himself was successful and made a fortune of six thousand dollars, which he put in the Page , Bacon and Company bank. The bank failed and his fortune was lost in a single day. Following this setback, Kanui tried his hand at being a bootblack, a barber, a tavern keeper, and lastly as an iron and rag merchant. Friends asked Kamehameha III to find him a way home to the islands, which was done, and Kanui enjoyed a short few months on O`ahu before his death in 1864. As much as fortune tossed him around, Kanui found, lost and found again his faith and then kept it, ending his life in humble poverty but convinced that God had led him home. His memorial stone reads: In Memory of, William Tennooe Kanui, Born about AD 1796, On the island of O`ahu, Went to America, 1809. Educated in Cornwall, Ct. Returned to Honolulu, 1820, Twice visited California, Died in Honolulu, Janu’y 14, 1864 In the life and death of Kanui, God’s Providence and Grace were wonderfully manifested. This stone was erected by J.H. [James Hunnewell] of Boston & S.C.D. [Samuel Chenery Damon] of Honolulu.

Title A name given to the resource Weeping Woman Statue Description An account of the resource WEEPING WOMAN by Stephan Abel Sinding (4 August 1846 – 23 January 1922) This sculpture was designed and sculpted by famous Norwegian artist Stephan Sinding. It was cast in 1912 and is thought to have been commissioned by Anna Charlotte Rice Cooke, founder of the Honolulu Academy of Arts. Her relative, Dora Isenberg, had commissioned a similar Sinding sculpture for a site in Lihue, Kauaʻi. We know that Anna Cooke was involved in the Isenberg commission, and it is surmised that she ordered this statue for the Mission Memorial Cemetery after she saw the one on Kauaʻi installed in 1911. Anna’s husband Charles Montague Cooke, Sr died in 1909 and is buried in this cemetery. As the cemetery is also the location of the Cooke family plot, it seems probable that she thought the sculpture a fitting memorial to the members of the Cooke family buried here. Anna Rice Cooke died in 1934 and is buried with her husband and his family.

Title A name given to the resource Meredith Gairdner Description An account of the resource Meredith Gairdner In the fall of 1832, Meredith Gairdner, a young Scots doctor, journeyed south from his home in Edinburgh to Kew, home to the Royal Horticultural Society’s collection of plant specimens on the outskirts of London. He had studied under Sir William Jackson Hooker, who at that time had at Kew the largest collection of known plant life, and there Gairdner was introduced to the work of David Douglas, a fellow Scot. Douglas, for whom the Douglas Fir is named, had sailed to America and had sent back to England a collection of plant life exotic to Europe. Gairdner promised to send additional specimens from the new world, as he had signed on to sail to the Pacific Northwest as a ship’s doctor with the Hudson’s Bay Company. He found on arrival at Fort Vancouver, in what is now the state of Washington, that his chances to explore the natural world of Northwest America were few, as his indenture kept him close to the settlement, dealing with the medical crises of the company’s men and Native Americans alike. At Fort Vancouver, Gairdner met David Douglas himself, who encouraged him to travel to Hawaiʻi to study the unique flora in the islands. Gairdner was tied to the company by contract, but when it became clear that he was beginning to fail in his health because of his workload, he sailed to Hawaii. He took a reconnaissance mission around Oʻahu, writing and publishing a geological survey of that island, during a short visit to the islands in 1833, noting that “The Kings country seat, the Mission House & the Billiard Room are the most conspicuous buildings." After two more years in the Northwest, Gairdner returned to Hawaiʻi in hope of a cure with the change of climate. Although unwell, he reported on his colleague Douglas’ death on Hawaiʻi Island in a letter to Hooker at Kew Gardens, which he sent with various boxes of specimens. From 1835 on he was looked after by mission families including both Artemas and Delia Bishop in Ka’awaloa and Asa and Lucy Thurston in Kailua-Kona. The Thurstons, who were impressed with the young man’s scientific knowledge and adventuresome spirit, gave their fifth child, Thomas, the middle name Gairdner in the year before Doctor Gairdner died in Honolulu, of tuberculosis, at the age of 28.

Title A name given to the resource Mary Tenney Castle Description An account of the resource Mary Tenney Castle (October 26, 1819 - March 13, 1907 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.

Title A name given to the resource Mary Atherton Richards Description An account of the resource Mary Atherton Richards (April 21, 1869 - April 18, 1951) Mary Atherton Richards was the granddaughter of eighth company missionaries Amos Starr Cooke and Juliette Montague Cooke, and the daughter of Juliette Montague Atherton and Joseph Ballard Atherton. 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 Maria Patton 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.
