The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 1-8-1918
ISENBERG, HANS
THE FUNERAL OF HANS ISENBERG.  Probably never in the history of Lihue has there 
been a larger and more democratic funeral than that of the late Rev. Hans Isenberg 
on Sunday afternoon at the Lutheran Church. The church was entirely inadequate for 
the concourse of people who gathered from all parts of the Island and from all 
conditions of life. Various groups of widely differing races, who could not find a 
place within the church and who could not have understood if they had, were 
gathered about the church in attitudes of respectful reverence to testify their 
regard for the dead. On arrival of the body by the Mauna Loa in the morning, it 
was taken to the Molokoa home where it was disposed on a bier in the midst of a 
great profusion of rare and beautiful flowers, the tribute of sorrowing friend 
from all quarters and all classes. A few hours later the body was removed to the 
Lutheran Church where it lay in state until the hour of the funeral service at two 
o'clock, during which time friends were permitted one last look on the face of the 
dead. The service was conducted by the Rev. A. Hoermann, pastor of the Honolulu 
Lutheran Church, with Mr. Roehl presiding at the organ. The service was in 
accordance with the ritual of the Lutheran Church, including an appropriate eulogy 
of the dead. The music was appropriate and impressive, especially the singing of 
the church choir and of the Hawaiian quartet. By special request of the deceased, 
he was laid to rest under the cypress tree near the church. The pallbearers were:  
Mr. William H. Rice Jr., Mr. Charles Wilcox, Mr. Herman Rohrig, Mr. F. Weber, Mr. 
Ed. Duisenburg, Mr. W. K. Schultze, Mr. J. F. Humberg, Mr. Arthur Rice, Mr. C. 
Montague Cooke, and Mr. Clarence Cooke.
