== Biography ==
David Kaonohiokala Bray was born 05 Mar 1889 in Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii, to Missionary David Howard Hitchcock (1832–1899) and Hana Bray (-1889). Hana died when he was six months old so David had no full siblings, but there were five half siblings from his father's previous marriage to Almeda Eliza Widger (1828–1895): noted American painter D. Howard Hitchcock (1861 – 1943), Ella Marian Hitchcock (1858 – 1950), Cora Etta Hitchcock (1859 – 1951), Almeda Eliza Hitchcock (1863 – 1895), and Charles Henry Wetmore Hitchcock (1868 – 1940).
He graduated from the Kamehameha Schools in 1909. In 1910 he married Lydia Maunahinakapu Dusson of Hana, Maui. They had six children.〔Wharton, Nadine. "Last of the Red Hot Kahunas," ''Paradise of the Pacific'' November/December 1965, p. 110-112.〕 He started his adult life as a lighthouse keeper, trimming the wicks of the big oil lamps at Diamond Head and Barber's Point. In 1917 at age 28, working as a chauffeur in Honolulu, he registered with the draft for World War I, but never served, as he was married with three children and one on the way. By 1940 he was an overseer at Waialee Training School For Boys (reformatory), while wife Lydia was a choreographer for the local orchestra. He was a guard at Oahu prison, and a school cook.〔"Keeper of the Flame, Daddy Bray," ''Honolulu Advertiser,'' January 29, 1956.〕 In 1955 he was appointed by the Governor to be guide for the throne room of 'Iolani Palace.〔〔 It was while working in this last job that he was able to serve more regularly as a kahuna.
