A TRIP AROUND THE ISLAND
OF OAHU
One day I overheard some of the
boys saying that they were going a
round the rock and 1 decided that 1
would go with them, and here are
some of the things that I saw.
We started about noon on Sunday
after we had driven about five miles
we were on top of the first Pali,
(which is the highest peak on this is
land). The road leading down on the
other side of Pali is the most crooked
road that I have ever seen, it is just
one turn after another and as Qteep
as any road in N. C. After we had
descended the other side of the Pali
we drove about thirty miles to the
beach known as Iialeiwa. There we
doned our bathing suits and proceed
ed to take a sun bath and boy what
a bath. After that we started our
journey home. After going about 1
thirty miles more we came to a beau* I
tiful army reservation known as
Schofield Barraks. It is the largest I
military establishment in the U. S. 1
Army, with an area of 14, 000 acre*, I
located 21 miles from Honolulu near'
the center of the island. It was estab- !
lished in 1909 and named in honor
of Lieutinant General John M. Scho
field, U. S. A. The Hawaiian division
is stationed here. At the southern
end of Schofield Barraks Wheeler
field is stationed. It is a small post
but of great importance in the wel
fare of thc army in time of war.
There are several squadrons of pur
suit planes there. That post has be
come one of prominence because of
several Trans-Pacific planes have
landed there. This post was establish
ed in 1922 and named after Major
Sheldon Harley Wheeler A. S.
In passing from Wheeler field we
enter the long fields of Sugar Cane
and vast fields of Pineapples, Sugar
cane and pineapples just as far as the
eye can see. After passing in and out
of the fields of green we came to the
edge of Honolulu and to the Post of
Fort Shafter which is the Headquar-!
ters of the Hawaiian Department. It
is located about three miles from the
center of the city and is connected
by street car. It has an area of 1,334
acres, and the 64th Coast Artillery
is the principle unit stationed there.
It was first occupied by troops June J
23, 1907 and is pamed after Major
General R. Shafter. Just across the
road from Fort Shafter is located the
Tripler General Hospital where all
the sick are taken care of except the
ones at Schofield Barraks. It is one
of the best hospitals in the army and
has ordinary bed capacity of 300 and
an emergency bed capacity of 600. I
know because I spent forty days
there myself. Next in line about three
hundred yards down the road is the
Hawaiian Ordinance Depot. It is lo
cated on the Fort Shafter Military
reservation. Its area is 70 odd acres.
It is garrisoned by the 74th Ord
nance Co. After leaving there we
passed down King St. which is the
main street of Honolulu and is about
six miles long. The buildings here in
Honolulu are of the modem type, i
There are no sky scrapers here. Tlie1
population of the island is made up
of Americans, Portneruese, Spanish,
Chinese, Japanese, Russian?, Kore
ans, Scandinavians, Germans, Gali
cians, Southsea Islanders, Porto Ri
cans. and Philipinos. The present
population is estimated at 357,649.
Of this number about 16,000 are of
the Army and Navy.
We are now at the starting point
Fort Armstrong not much but what
can you expect for a nickle if you
will give me just a little more time
and wait, until I return front the
Island of Hawaii I will give you m
earful.
Aloha until I return from Hilo.

"On the early dawn. May 21,1931
the death angel visited the home of
John T. Davis and bore away the
soul of their precious daughter,
Theo, back to God who gave it.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Grandview cemetery. May 23,
by Rev. W. R. Lunsford. The house
was well filled with sorrowful
friends and loved ones. The floral
offering were many and very beau
tiful.
Theo was a beautiful young girl
just nineteen years of age. She wan
horn December 25, 1911., at Boiling
Springs, having lived there all her
life. She leaves many friends. All
jwho knew Theo loved her. She was
I a very talented musician, the life of
I her home. She always tried to make
| others happy and to look for the
i brighter and ftner things of life.
She professed faith in Christ at the
age of fourteen years. Amid all the
sinful temptation of this world, she
I followed closely in the footsteps of
her Master and led a model christian
life. She was a faithful member of
the Baptist Church at Boiling
Springs and attended Church and
Sunday School until a few weeks be
fore her death. She has been in de
clining health for almost r. year,
having been afflicted with T. B.
During her illness she never com
plained, always bearing her pains with
a smile. Realizing that her condition
was serious she said to her aunt.
"Aunt Hannah. I feel that I have
not lived my life quiet out but I
know there is a God and I do not
fear death." All that loving hands
could do was done but God saw it
best to take the patient sufferer in
to that home where there is no sick
ness, sorrow or death.
four brothers and a host of relatives
She is survived by a Grandmother,
Father, Mother, three sisters and
and friends.
/Theo's work on earth is ended.
To Heaven she has ascended,
Cares and tribulations all are o'er,
Free from sadness, sin, and sorrow
She is with Christ on that bright
srore.
Won't that be a happy meeting
Won't that be a joyous greeting
When we meet Theo over there !
Nothing there our hearts will sever
I We'll rest at home forever
His praise and love we will ever
share.
