Hawaiian information

Here is something from [1], but it is in Hawaiian so if anyone can understand it please add it to the article. From my own guesswork, it doesn't provide much beside the mention of Waimea, which may or may not be his birthplace.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:21, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

O Samuel Kipi kekahi kanaka a‘u e imi ana i kēia manawa. Ua kapa ‘ia aku i ka puke ‘o Dismembering Lāhui ,‘o S. Kipi ka luna maka‘āinana wale nō, akā, he kia‘āina nō ho‘i ‘o ia no Waimea, Hawai‘i a he kanaka na‘auao nō. Hala ihola ‘o ia i ka makahiki 1879 ua kanalima kūmākolu makahiki ona.

According to User:Kuauli this says:

Samuel Kipi was a man with my in my search now. [This next part didn’t really make sense] Called the book of Dismembering Lāhui, S. Kipi, just a luna maka‘āinana (kind of like a foreman of the makaʻāina) , but, a governor at Waimea, Hawai‘i and an wise man. He left [his governorship, I’m guessing] in the year 1879 and his 43 years. [When he was 43 years old].

Pacific Commercial Advertiser obituary

This was removed because of a lack of space and upset the balance and didn't provide as good of a description as the other article:

His death announcement in the Honolulu newspaper The Pacific Commercial Advertiser read:

No little surprise was manifested on the arrival of the steamer Likelike from the windward ports, at the announcement of the death of Samuel Kipi, Governor of the island of Hawaii, at Hilo, on the 11th inst. By his death the country loses a man that was highly esteemed, and who commanded the respect of the foreign community as well as from his own people. He was born at Hilo on the 4th of May, 1825, and was consequently 53 years and 10 months of age.^[1]
