My great-grandfather is buried in Makawao Cemetery. He and my great-grandmother arrived from Norway in 1881. She worked as a domestic; my great-grandfather was a blacksmith. There’s a bunch of Scandinavians there, and lots of people of Japanese descent. Cowboys from the ranches, too.
My grandparents are buried there, my parents, and my sister. My brother and I obtained plots, so I’ll go there, too. It’s the most beautiful cemetery around.
