2004/2024

Martha Root’s grave is in Oahu Cemetary at 2162 Nuuanu Avenue, about nine miles from Honolulu International Airport. Troxel's original directions from 2004 replaced with updated screenshots, 2024, by Farid S.:
I've attached a screenshot of a Google map showing the coordinates at the top. Also, a map that we got from the cemetery staff. Third, an updated photo of the gravesite itself. Her grave is on the right side.

There are two large sections of the cemetery with different entrances/gates on opposite sides of Nuuanu St. Fourth is a photo of that gate; anyone with the updated map should be able to easily figure it out.

There's plenty of free street parking on Nuuanu St. right in front of the gates. If there isn't, one can actually park on the cemetery section that's on the opposite side of the street using the other gate.

The lady buried next to Martha Root is Elizabeth Muther. Ms. Muther became the first on Hawaii’s soil to embrace the Revelation of Bahá’u’lláh. Ms. Muther also cared for Martha during her last illness and was much loved by her.
