John Kapilikea Sumner (September 16, 1820 – January 9/10, 1915) was a high chief of the Kingdom of Hawaii. Sources disagree on his Hawaiian name. Most modern sources erroneously refer to him as "Keolaloa," the same name as his elder brother, but contemporary Hawaiian newspapers give his name as "Kapilikea" instead. [1]
He was born September 16, 1820 in Honolulu on the island of Oahu.[1]
On January 10, 1915, Sumner was found dead in his dead on his nephew Wyllie Davis' home in Mokapu. He had either die that very morning or the night before. He was 94 years-old when he died.[2][3]
He owned Sumner's Island and some land along Honolulu Harbor, which were the subject of court cases during his later life.[4]
Life from Hawaiian Gazette.[1]
Life from Honolulu Star-Bulletin.[5]
Sumner was buried in the family plot at Mokapu.[6]
