Note: " she never had to work till she married great grandfather Henry Poepoe. up to then she enjoyed pursuits such as embroidering, sipping tea,all the activities of an aristocratic family. As a member of Henry's family she was treated like a slave ‏( the very words she used)‏ working from dawn to dusk cleaning, washing, fetching water from the well, etc. She did tell me before. her death that is what caused her severely hunched back besides bearing and raising 11 children. Nevertheless, Lucia was a very devoted mother and wife till her death. I remember her sweeping and washing the floors on her knees until her early 90's. When we sometimes drive through Waikane on windward Oahu where she was raised , I wonder where her home & the rice paddies might have been & how beautiful life must have been then."--- 12/15/2020 -Fred
