This section of the site provides obituaries of Kaupo residents translated from historic Hawaiian-language newspapers. A separate section of the site contains other historic newspaper articles of interest, but obituaries of the 1800s and early 1900s feature particularly moving, poetic language and are worthy of their own setting. For a general overview of Kaupo obituaries, see the article Honoring the land in historic obituaries.
