Daughter of Caleb & Martha (Warner) Montague
Extracted from The Evening Star (Washington, D.C.) September 26, 1896 page 22
A really historical person died here lately who bore no unimportant part in determining the course of affairs under the native monarchy. The aged lady of eighty-five years, Mrs. Juliette Montague Cooke, had been for twelve years about half a century ago the chief spirit in the royal school for young chiefs, and very beloved and influential teacher of six youths, who afterward ascended the throne of Hawaii. It was beyond question her high and reasonable influence which infused such moderation into their wayward and capricious dispositions that the growing civilization and commerce of the country was able to tolerate their reigns as long as it did. The later and younger two sovereigns, Kalakua and his sister, became willful and undertook to rule arbitrarily. Neither of them were ever as much under “Mother” Cooke’s influence as their predecessors. Mrs. Cooke was a woman of rare brightness and loveliness, always a favorite in Honolulu society. She leaves a large circle of descendants, several of them wealthy.
