I would ask John King. He's really into the history of Hawaiian music. The website is called Nalu Music.

Here are a couple of pages from "The Hawaiian Steel Guitar and Its Great Hawaiian Musicians", edited by Lorene Ruymar.
Christopher Balme wrote about the Broadway musical "Bird of Paradise", which was performed in 1912 and featured Walter Kolomoku on steel guitar.
Here's another link on the Ukulelia blog that might be helpful.
