Summary edit

Description
English: One of the earliest photos known to be taken at Kalawao was of Kaapu, age thirty-two, from Waimanalo, who was sent to Kalaupapa in about 1869. In 1878, he testified that he had been forced to dig graves despite his physical condition.

CASE XII. (Photograph 10.) No history by Father Damien, Kaapu being dead.

Committee reports says:

Kaapu, a man from Waimaualo, the witness who testified to the digging of the graves. That testimony is—Kaapu, 32 years of age, and nine years at the settlement, says that he has been obliged to dig graves ever since he has come here. His hands are in a very bad condition. Has lost several joints of his fingers, and all are in an excoriated and suppurating condition. He is one of seven children and neither of his parents, nor any of his brothers or sisters have contracted the disease.
