		Si'upolu was the only child of Tuimanu'a Elisara and Vaitupu from Upolu, and apparently she was sent at an early age to be educated at the London Missionary Society (LMS) boarding school at Atauloma in Tutuila, long before the untimely death of her father on April 2, 1909.
		According to Jerry, at the untimely young death of her mother Si'upolu in 1925 in Hawaii, Vaitupu traveled on ship to Hawaii to bring back her daughter's cremated ashes to be buried with her father Elisara Tuimanu'a in Ta'u.
		Although Jerry and her siblings were raised stateside, and with the early death of their Samoan mother Si'upolu, the only child of Elisara and Vaitupu Tuimanu'a, and being cared primarily only by their Caucasian father of Scottish ancestry, Naval Chief Arthur Joseph Ross, the Tuimanu'a grandchildren were always proud of their Samoan ancestry.

		Truth is I can't answer that many of your questions, I haven't been back to Tuvalu since I lived on Vaitupu as a boy between about 1978 and 1983.
		When I was there electricity was available on Funafuti and on the School compound at Motofuoa on Vaitupu (albeit only in the evenings).
		In the late 70's and early 80's there was a Grumman Goose Flying boat of 1940's vintage that was restored and funded by (I think) the british government.

		Unfortunately, the 1908 pictures of Tuimanu'a Elisara, his wife Vaitupu, family and visitors in Ta'u that was expected from the renown California writer Jack London collection at the Huntington Library in Los Angeles might not be obtained on time.
		The library relayed recently that they are in the midst of relocation and haven't been able as of yet to coordinate with their photographers.
		Vaitupu was most likely living in Upolu at that time, returning to her family after her husband Elisara's own untimely death in 1909.
