a wealth of knowledge to historians during the Territorial period. Ethel Moseley Damon, author of Koamalu: A Story of Pioneers on Kauai, noted that she was "a Hawaiian of rank revered by us all, and one deeply learned in the lore of her native country". She inherited many artifacts from her Welsh great-grandfather including his Anglican prayer book and a letter from Captain George Vancouver. Her niece, Lucy Henriques, inherited Peabody's private collections including her letters and personal writings, along with those of Parker Peabody, Isaac Davis, John Young, Dr. Rooke, and Queen Emma. The Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum in Honolulu later acquired the material, which is known today as the Lucy Kaopaulu Peabody, Edgar and Kalani Henriques Collection. It also consisted of 1,300 ethnological specimens, many of which Edgar Henriques cataloged. These included geological specimens, samples of Hawaiian wood and many artifacts of historical importance including swords, pictures and medals. In her final years, she moved in with her niece Lucy Henriques and her husband Edgar Henriques, possibly at the Edgar and Lucy Henriques House. Lucy Peabody never married or had children of her own. She died on August 9, 1928, at the age of 89, at her niece's residence. She was buried at the Oahu Cemetery in the Davis family plot under a marker with the inscription "Lucy K. Peabody". A separate memorial for Isaac Davis and his descendants lists her as "Lucy Kaopaulu Peabody". In her will she left twelve acres of land in Makahikilu, Waimea to her niece to establish a medical facility in the North Hawaii area, where both women had lived and grown up. After Henriques' death in 1932, the Lucy Kalanikumaikiʻekiʻe Henriques Charitable Trust was established to fulfill the legacy of the two women. The Lucy Henriques Medical Center finally opened in 1977, eventually merging with North Hawaii Community Hospital in 1999.
