The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tue., 3-18-1919
FREITAS, JOE
JOE FREITAS PASSES AWAY.  We regret to have to chronicle the death of Joe Freitas 
of Hanamaulu at the Armory on Wednesday morning last. His was a case that created 
a good deal of interest and awakened much sympathy because of the wonderful fight 
that he made for life long after it was supposed that he had no chance. It was a 
case of Spanish influenza of the pneumonic form. Born on the Island, he had been 
for many years in the employ of the Lihue Plantation where he was a valued member 
of the steam plow gang. He had an uncommonly genial and happy disposition and was 
a general favorite. He leaves a wife and five children, the oldest about eight 
years old. The widow is a frail little woman in a delicate state of health 
consequent on several operations, and it will be hard with the family. They will 
be entitled to a $1500 benefit payment from the Portuguese benefit society, but 
there may be difficulty about collecting this amount because of the excessive 
demands on the society at this time. It is understood, however, that the 
plantation will treat the family liberally and see that they do not really suffer.
