The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 9-19-1922
HOP, LUM
AGED CHINAMAN COMMITS SUICIDE.  Lum Hop, an aged Chinese, was found dead, hanging 
by the neck in his house in the valley below Lihue Mill last Tuesday. The 
discovery was made by Charles Ishii, bookkeeper for Kipu Plantation, who went to 
call on the old man and found him hanging from a rope from the rafters. The police 
were notified and upon investigation found a message written upon a white apron 
upon the body, stating that he was despondent because he was forced to leave his 
home which had been sold to another party. The deceased was 60 years old and had 
no family. He had formerly been an employee at different times of Grove Farm and 
Lihue plantations.
