- HM King LUNALILO [William Charles Lunalilo], 6th
King of Hawai'i 1872/1874 (PHOTO),
born
1835, educated at
the
Chief's Childrens School, he was a good student, winning many
scholastic
awards. His keen memory, love of his people and a deep sense of justice
were among his best assets. Upon the death of King Kamehameha V,
Lunalilo
was nominated for king. His birthright was enough to claim the throne,
but he wanted the people to choose their ruler. His handsome features,
gracious manners and intelligence endeared him to all and he was
affectionately
called Lokomaika'i, (merciful or gracious). He was elected
overwhelmingly
by the people, unanimously by the legislature and installed as king at
Kawaihao Church, on 9th January 1873. Noted for simplicity, he sat on
the
throne
covered with the feather cape, symbol of Hawaiian Royalty. This was the
ancient act of coronation. His reign began in the middle of an economic
depression, but the greatest problem he inherited was the enforcement
of
the law to prevent the spread of leprosy. His pain for lepers separated
from their families and friends and his commitment to protect the
uninfected
population weighed deeply upon his conscience. The arrival of Father
Damien
in 1873, was one answer to his fervent prayer. Unable to cope with the
changing times and deeply burdened by the dwindling of his native
people,
he became addicted to alcohol. He died unmarried 3rd February 1874, of
tuberculosis
at his home in Waikiki.
