Family legend has it that Jennie Caponia was violently killed in the winter of 1945-46. Use the "AC: Middle Pacific Stars and Stripes (Honolulu, Hawaii)" QUIKLink below to find out more information about her tragic death and answer these questions:
- How did Jennie die?
- What was Jennie's approximate birthdate?
- Did she have children?
- Where did she work, and possibly also live?
- In the name search fields, type "Jennie Caponia" along with "1946" for the publication date.
- At age 24, Jennie was shot and killed by a 26-year-old Oahu resident with whom she had an argument, according to witnesses.
- If she was 24 in 1945-46, she was probably born around 1921-22.
- She was widowed at the time of her death and had 4 children.
- Jennie worked as a waitress at a Waiakea cafe. Using Google maps you can see that Waiakea is a section of the city of Hilo, Hawaii. It's possible Jennie lived in Waiakea or in the surrounding Hilo area.
