“RETIRED PLANTER PASSES AWAY 

JOHN ENA DIES SUDDENLY AT LONG BEACH 

Capitalist from Honolulu Expires at Hospital After a Brief Illness. Took Up 
Residence at Seashore City 

Special to The Herald. LONG BEACH, Dec. 12.— John Ena, a wealthy retired 
Hawaiian planter and capitalist, died at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the Long 
Beach hospital of a complication of diseases. He was a native of Hilo, on the 
Island of Hawaii, but nearly all of his life had been spent in Honolulu, where 
he had extensive business interests. At the time of his retirement from 
business two years ago he was president of the Interisland Steamship company. 
When a young man Ena entered the employ of this corporation as a bookkeeper. 

Mr. Ena first came to Long Beach seven years ago, when he purchased a home at 
Elm and Ocean avenues, which he owned until the time of his death. He spent 
only the summers here, however, when he came over from the islands to visit 
with his children who, during the winter months, attended school near San 
Francisco. Last August he returned to this city intending to sell his Honolulu 
holdings and reside here permanently. While he had been in ill health for some 
time his death resulted from a complication which set in very recently. He had 
been in the local hospital only a week and before that was in a Los Angeles 
hospital for a short time. He was 61 years old. A widow, two sons and five 
daughters survive him, all of whom are in Long Beach. The body will be taken to 
Honolulu for burial.” END
