Col. M. L. W. Kitchen Visits Rose Ranch.

  Shortly after the close of the Civil war, another Civil War veteran, Col. 
Marcus L. W. Kitchen of New Jersey, made the long trip around the Horn to 
Hawaii. The colonel, a union officer, had been badly wounded and he made the 
trip to recuperate in the islands. Being a very personable young man, he was 
welcomed to Rose Yew Ranch by Capt. and Mrs. James Makee. His visit was 
prolonged. Eventually he wooed and won Miss Julia Makee, the second of the six 
Makee daughters. The wedding took place in the chapel at Rose Ranch. Col 
Kitchen took his bride back to New England and established a home in 
Gunnington, N.H. There the couple reared three daughters, each named for one 
of Mrs. Kitchen’s sisters. 
  Julia Kitchen (Chippy) married Charles Julian Billson of New York. The 
couple had one son, Marcus Kitchen Billson, who was educated at Punahou and 
eventually settled in Hawaii to become the managing director of the Hawaiian 
Hume Concrete Pipe Co. The Marcus Billsons have three children, Jeanne, Marcus 
and Beck. The youngest, Beck, is attending Punahou.
  Col. and Mrs. Kitchen’s second daughter, Helen (Nellie), returned to Hawaii 
in 1907 as the bride of Robert Atkinson, son of the educator, Alatau T. 
Atkinson. Helen Kitchen Atkinson died in 1917. 
  The youngest daughter of Col. and Mrs. Kitchen, Alice Makee Kitchen, married 
Walter Schultz of New York and had two children. She was left a widow at about 
the same time her sister died. Robert Atkinson married his sister in law, 
Alice Makee Schultz, in 1919 and adopted the two children, Alice and Charles. 
Alice Schultz Atkinson is now Mrs. Charles Hite of Nuuanu valley. The Hites 
have three children: Robert, Maner and Alice. Charles Schultz Atkinson lives 
in Hilo and has one daughter, Alana.
