Edward Papoko Macomber was my grandfather, father to my dad Ralph Kawaionamolokama Macomber, and husband to Elizabeth Werner. He was a police officer when he became afflicted with leprosy, and taken to Kalaupapa at a young age. Elizabeth developed a relationship with another man who eventually murdered her in front of her children, and then killed himself. Ralph was married to Muriel Gail Nohea Kahoopii in Oahu and they bore three sons (Ralph Jr., Paulson, and Reynolds) and three daughters (Merrianne, Donna, and Muriel). I was hanai'd... daughter to Muriel's sister, Donna.
