Who are the true landowners, landlords, Allodial land owners of Bernice Pauahi Bishops Estates created in the time of the Kingdom of Hawaii?
Ruth Keelikolani - she owned 353,000+ acres, a Palace, Kamehameha Dynasty Artifacts, etc.
"In Ruth’s lifetime, which was also Pauahi’s lifetime, there were many deaths among the ali‘i nui, young as well as old. Ruth’s mother died giving birth to her; her first hānai mother died when she was six, her second hānai mother when she was thirteen, and her first husband when she was twenty-two. Her children and hānai son also predeceased her. Each ali‘i nui death reduced the number of inheritors and concentrated larger and larger acreages in fewer and fewer hands. Ruth had inherited lands from her first husband and her father’s brother and more from her half brothers and sisters. When Lot died without a will, Ruth petitioned for his lands, and they were awarded to her. Eventually, Ruth’s lands—Kamehameha lands—amounted to 353,000 acres. When it came time for Ruth to write her own will, her only close relative still living was Pauahi. Aside from six temporary interests in land and the gift of an express wagon and two horses, Ruth left everything to Pauahi: “I give and bequeath forever to my beloved younger Princess Ruth Ke‘elikōlani was governor of the island of Hawai‘i for nearly three decades. sister Bernice Pauahi Bishop, all of my property, the real and personal property from Hawai‘i to Kaua‘i, all of said property to be hers.”
"Although there had been some debate among Hawaiians about Ruth’s and Pauahi’s true genealogical descent, Ruth’s will was not challenged, and Pauahi’s claim was confirmed by the Buke Māhele, from which all land titles had flowed since 1848."
In Probate, Ruth Keelikolani's Next-of-kin: Bernice Pauahi Bishop
"At age fifty-one, Bernice, Mrs. Bishop, Ke Ali‘i Pauahi, was now far and away the largest landowner and the richest woman in the kingdom. Until now, Pauahi had seen no need to make a will. But she had become the owner of valleys and plains, forests and grasslands, from the mountains to the sea. It was valuable as real estate, especially with the reciprocity treaty in force and demand for sugar plantation land growing rapidly. Beyond that, it was the sacred legacy of Kamehameha, the royal ‘āina."
"On October 31, 1883, she signed her own will."
1884
"Early in 1884 Pauahi began to feel ill. At the beginning of April, on the advice of her doctors, she went to San Francisco for a change of scenery and for medical advice. The doctor diagnosed breast cancer, already advanced. She was operated on before Bishop could get there."
"By June, she was well enough to travel home, but at Haleakalā her condition worsened. Late in the summer she went to her villa at Waikīkī for the sea air. Friends called and visited, children came to play with her, but now Pauahi was in great pain. One of her doctors gave her opium, and when the pain intensified, he injected morphine."
Note: See article below about Opium
"In early October she added two codicils to her will."
"On October 9, the date of the second codicil, which was witnessed by her doctors, she was moved to Keōua Hale, the big house she had inherited from Ruth, where she and Bishop had planned to live."
"She died there on October 16, 1884, at the age of fifty-two."
"For fifteen days, Pauahi’s coffin lay at Keōua Hale, with the royal court in full mourning. There were black kāhili, symbols of royalty, 150 of them; her name songs and death laments were chanted day and night, and mourners came on foot through the rain to pay their respects."
"It had started to rain while she was dying, and it was raining on November 2 when her funeral cortege formed, four white horses to carry the casket to Kawaiaha‘o Church, kāhili bearers in yellow capes and tall black hats."
"The funeral procession after the service had police at the head, cavalry in plumed helmets at the rear. Crowds lined the roadside, and while the Royal Hawaiian Band played “The Pauahi March,” ali‘i nui, servants from her household, children from her Sunday school class, stewards of her lands, the consular corps, judges of the Supreme Court, and seventy-five carriages processed toward Nu‘uanu Valley. There, the rain clouds parted."
"At Mauna ‘Ala, the Hawaiian royal mausoleum, built in the form of a Christian cross, Pauahi joined three generations of the Kamehameha dead, who were laid out in the crypt beside the kā‘ai, the sennit caskets, of two ancient chiefs from generations before Kamehameha, whose own bones were buried on the island of Hawai‘i in a place kept secret to this day."
"The kings after Kamehameha all lay at Mauna ‘Ala: Liholiho, Kauikeaouli, Alexander Liholiho, and Lot. Alexander’s son, Albert Edward Kauikeaouli, and the ali‘i nui Ka‘ahumanu, Kamāmalu, Kalama, Leleiohoku, Keaweaweula, William Pitt Kīna‘u, David Kamehameha, Moses Kekuaiwa, and Victoria Kamāmalu. Pauahi’s mother Konia; her father Pākī; her hānai parents, Kekūanaō‘a and Kīna‘u; her hānai child, Keolaokalani, son of Ruth Ke‘elikōlani; Ruth herself; and now Pauahi."
