His EX. KAHAPULA BECKLEY, was born at Waimea, Hawaii, November 26, 1845; son of W. G. Beckley and the Chiefess Kahinu. He received a good education. He was made Purser of the steamer Kilauea shortly after his arrival here. On the accession of His Majesty, he was removed from the Kilauea and appointed second clerk in the Land office. On the death of the late E. H. Boyd, creating a vacancy in the office of His Majesty's Chamberlain, he was appointed to the place. When he resigned this position he went to Molokai, and entered into cane planting on his lands on that Island. At the last election of Representatives for the Legislative Assembly, he was returned for the district of Molokai and Lanai. On the appointment of Hon. J. E. Bush, to the office of Minister of the Interior, he was made Governor of the island of Kauai, which position he held at the time of his death, Friday morning early, January 7, 188. He leaves behind him a widow, one boy and four girls, a brother and sister, and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. He was noted for his kind and genial manner; he was a steady and upright man, a loving husband and a kind father, and it will be hard to find one to fill his place among his race. His funeral will take place on Sunday.
