WRIGHT, WILLIAM WILSON JR.
WM. W. WRIGHT DIES IN HONOLULU.  William W. Wright, Jr., for several years past 
connected with Lihue plantation, died at the Queen's Hospital in Honolulu last 
Thursday evening. The immediate cause of death was a hemorrhage caused from a 
burst kidney. Funeral services were held at 3 o'clock on Friday afternoon, 
interment taking place at the Nuuanu cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Wright had gone to 
Honolulu to spend Christmas. Upon arriving there, he was taken violently ill and 
was placed in the hospital. It was thought at first that he was suffering from 
pneumonia. Mr. Wright was born in New Zealand in 1880 and came to Hawaii when two 
years old. He was married about two months ago to Miss Bertha Ebeling, daughter of 
Mr. and Mrs. Ebeling of Makaweli, and is survived by his widow, two sisters, and 
two brothers. He was educated in local schools and was formerly connected with the 
First National Bank of Hawaii. He was later a purser of the cable steamer 
Restorer. He served with the British forces during the world war and accepted the 
position of plantation luna when he returned from the war. [The Garden Island,

YAMA, TOSHYUKI
JAPANESE BOY KILLED IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.  Toshyuki Yama, a Japanese boy 14 
years of age, was killed at Hanamaulu last Friday afternoon by being struck by 
Buick car No. 844 owned by Hee Fat of Kapaa and driven by Kenneth Hee, his son. 
The facts as testified to by Kenneth Hee at the inquest were substantially as 
follows:  Buick car No. 844 with Kenneth Hee at the wheel and another Chinese and 
a Hawaiian as passengers was proceeding toward Kapaa from Lihue. When about 100 
yards from Hanamaulu Store, he met a truck from McBryde Store towing another 
truck. Toshyuki was riding on the back part of the truck being towed and jumped 
off just as the Buick was about to pass. The unfortunate boy, after jumping off 
the truck, stood in the road looking toward Hanamaulu, unaware of another machine 
coming up from the rear. Young Hee sounded his horn when he saw the boy in front 
of the machine's path and swerved hard to his left to avoid hitting him, but the 
right fender struck the boy. Kenneth Hee immediately took the victim in his 
machine and returned to Lihue Hospital where the boy died in about an hour. 
Examination of the body showed that the neck was broken and that there were 
probably internal injuries. After taking the injured boy to the hospital, Hee 
reported the accident to the sheriff. At the coroner's inquest it was found that 
Toshyuki Yama came to his death by an unavoidable accident.
