Mahalo nui to our alert reader Thomas B. Lyons III, who spotted our unwitting error in the June issue of Ka Wai Ola O OHA in the story on the Mission House Museum quilt exhibit. Featured in the quilt show are pieces made by his grandmother, Rosalie Enos Lyons Keli'inoi, Hawaii's first elected woman representative to the state legislature. She was first married to Lyons' grandfather, Thomas B. Lyons, Sr. At the time of her legislative term, she was the second wife of Sam Keli'inoi, Sr. Alas, the photograph we used was misidentified in the Hawaii State Archives and Notable Women of Hawai'i. According to Mr. Lyons, the charming photo was actually of Keli'inoi's second wife, Emma Yates.
