Naʻe hoko ʻa Susa ʻIongi Kētisi ko e taha ʻo e kau fafine Siasi ʻiloa taha ʻi hono taimí.

Naʻe ʻikai ke toe meimei lava ʻe Susa ia ʻo fai ha meʻa kehe ka ko e fakahoko pē ʻa e ngāue ʻo e hisitōlia fakafāmilí mo e ngāue fakatemipalé.

Naʻá ne ngāue vāofi mo ʻEletā Siosefa Filitingi Sāmita ʻi he ngaahi meʻá ni—ko e tokoni faihisitōlia ʻa e Siasí, foha ʻo e Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí, pea ʻi he hili ʻa e 1910, ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá.
