The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 5-23-1922
KALEIKAU, LILIA DAVIS
KAUAI'S OLDEST WOMAN DIES AT THE AGE OF 96 YEARS.  Lilia Davis Kaleikau, 
grandmother of Senator John Andrew Kealoha, passed away at her home in Kapaa on 
Sunday morning at the ripe age of 96 years and was probably the oldest living 
Hawaiian woman on Kauai at the time of her death. She was born at Lahaina, Maui, 
in April 1826, during the reign of Kamehameha III when Kaahumanu was regent. Her 
parents, Nakea and Pohunui, brought her up on Maui, and she was educated by 
Alexander, one of the early missionaries to these islands. Her first trip to Kauai 
was made in 1879. She returned to Maui for several years and again came to Kauai 
in 1884, remaining on Kauai ever since. In 1908 at the age of 82 years, she 
suffered the loss of her sight which she never recovered. The deceased was 
survived by one son, Samuel K. Davis in Kapaa; a sister, Mrs. Dela Cruz of 
Honolulu; six grandchildren: Senator John Kealoha, Emily Kealoha, Lily Cummings, 
Hattie Adolpho, all in Kapaa, Julia Lovell and Hattie Rogers in Honolulu, and Eva 
Peters, now in San Francisco; besides forty-two great-grandchildren, all living in 
various parts of the Hawaiian Islands. Funeral services were held at the Kapaa 
Protestant Church, Sunday afternoon, and the remains were laid to rest in the 
Hawaiian cemetery. []
