William Charles Lunalilo was born in Honolulu on January 31, 1835. He was the
grandson of the half brother to King Kamehameha I and his grandmother was Queen
Ka`ahumanu's sister. Lunalilo was elected to the throne via special election after King
Kamehameha V left no heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Hawai'i. Lunalilo, the unanimous
choice among the people in a popular vote, became known as the "People's King." Lunalilo
officially took the throne in January 1873. While King, Lunalilo removed the property owning
requirements that the Constitution of 1864 required for voting eligibility. William Charles
Lunalilo's reign ended after a year with his untimely death on February 3, 1874. Lunalilo choose
not to be buried with the past monarchs at the Royal Mausoleum, but instead was laid to rest
with his mother and his people on the grounds of Kawaiha`o Church. He left his property to
create the Lunalilo Home, to be used for poor and elderly Hawaiians.
