“HONORABLE JOHN ENA DIES IN LOS ANGELES

A Former Inter-Island President and Capitalist.

(Associated Press Cablegram.)  LOS ANGELES, December 13. John Ena died here 
yesterday. [portrait is also printed]

The Honorable John Ena was for many years a prominent figure in the commercial 
and political circles of the Territory.  Born here of Chinese and Hawaiian 
parentage, he worked his way up until he was a commanding figure in Honolulu.  
He was invested with the insignia of an Officer of the Crown by King Kalakaua 
in 1888 for services rendered the kingdom and later sat in the House of 
Representatives of the Republic. In 1899 he was chosen as president of the 
Inter-Island Steam Navigation Company, which position he held until 1902.  With 
the company he had been identified for nearly twenty years, starting in as a 
clerk for the late T. R. Foster, the first president of the parent company of 
the Inter-Island.

The deceased married into the Lane family, a leading Hawaiian family, seven 
accomplished children being born to him.

After retiring from the presidency of the Inter-Island Company, the deceased 
moved to Los Angeles [Long Beach].

The deceased was sixty-three years old.” END
