Mr. Chas. R. Bishop died in California early in 1915, having just passed
his ninety-third birthday. He was born in Glens Falls, N.Y., and sailed
around Cape Horn to Hawaii in the early days before steamship
communication.
His wife, Pauahi, was a very high chiefess descended from the royal line
of Kamehameha the Great. To her Kamehameha V. offered the throne, and on
her refusal to espouse him remained a bachelor and died without heir.
Mrs. Pauahi Bishop bequeathed her vast estate and fortune to found the
schools for Hawaiian boys and girls, known as the Kamehameha Schools,
Honolulu, and near these Mr. Bishop founded the Bishop Museum; which
contains all the magnificent feather-cloaks, helmets, calabashes, etc.,
handed down from generation to generation through the royal line of the
Kamehamehas and inherited by Mrs. Bishop. This has been greatly
increased by other gifts and purchases and now forms the finest museum
in the world, of relics of the Polynesian race.
