Find A Grave Memorial# 114287494 Curtis Narimatsu Says: November 25th, 2009 at 2:15 pm Blanche Leite Cabral 1918-2008 was half-sister to Wendell Leite born 1928, both of whose mothers were sisters, Kapahua ohana. Of course, the Kapahua ohana owned a large expanse of land along what became RR Depot road, with the HRR/HCR station by the Pauka'a lighthouse toward the ocean, and the Depot Road connecting up with the old Mamalahoa Highway [today's Kahoa & Kulana Rds.]. Below Blanche's eventual home w/dearest hubby Mike Cabral was the Nagamatsu store [not my family]. Two lots Hilo direction of the Depot Rd./Mamalahoa junction [today's Kulana Rd.] was another store, all servicing the Pauka'a mill camp residents [former Reinhardt-Asegut German mill at Manuel Reis' houselot atop Pauka'a ridge along today's Kulana Rd.-old Mamalahoa Hwy 1850-1857; then Chinese like Akau took over mill, until earliest haole planters like Irwin-Austin took over mill, eventually selling out to Onomea Sugar Co. in Papa'ikou][Pauka'a camp 2 along the Honoli'i river was a mile mauka of today's mill camp]. Of course, the Kapahua estate's prize possession was its Honoli'i expanse immediately below our Belt Rd. bridge. –Curt
