The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 5-9-1916
SOUSA, MANUEL TEILEIRA
OLD RESIDENT DIES.  Manuel T. Sousa, a very old resident of Kauai, father of 
Lihue's bandmaster Joseph A. Sousa, died at the Lihue hospital last Tuesday 
evening after an operation for an ailment which had bothered him for 15 years. Mr. 
Sousa came to the islands in 1882. Twenty-five years were spent at Kealia and 
Kilauea, where he was overseer and the last nine years with his sons. Deceased was 
a man of fine habits and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. His funeral 
was largely attended, the Lihue band heading the procession. He left a widow and 
four sons:  Joseph A. and Antone Sousa of Lihue, and Manuel and John, who are in 
California. The son Manuel came down last winter to visit his parents. Mr. Sousa 
is said to have been the first Portuguese on Kauai to send his sons to Honolulu 
schools.
