Lim Eow Teng, death 4 July 1916, Penang
It is with deep regret that the Straits Echo announces the death of Mr Lim Eow Teng, a brother of Mr Lim Eow Hong and Mr Lim Eow Thoon, which took place at the family residence in Penang Road after a very short illness. The deceased gentleman was one of the first Chinese to sign on for the Chinese Company of the "P.V." and returned lately from England where he went to complete his studies. He was married recently and leaves his widow to mourn his loss. [The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser (1884-1942), 7 July 1916, Page 4]
The funeral of the late Lim Eow Teng, whose demise occurred at Penang on July 4, after a very short illness, took place on July 28 when his remains were removed, with the usual pomp and splendour of the Chinese rites, to the family burial ground at Mount Erskine for interment. Being a member of the Chinese Company of the Penang Volunteers the deceased was accorded a military funeral. The Chinese Company attended in full force under 2nd Lieuts. D.A.M. Brown (Officer Commanding), H.R. Cheeseman and J.R. Brown, and the firing party was under the command of acting Sergeant P.Carmichael. [The Straits Times, 26 July 1916, Page 8]
The funeral of the late Mr Lim Eow Teng, a brother of Mr Lim Eow Hong and Mr Lim Eow Thoon, whose demise occurred on July 4, after a very short illness, took place on Sunday morning when his remains were removed, with the usual pomp and splendour of the Chinese rites, to the family burial ground at Mount Erskine for interment. Despite the inclement weather, there was a very large atttendance to pay a last tribute of respect to the deceased gentleman, who was cut down in the prime of life. Among those present were Messrs Cheah Kee Ee, Lim Chuah Law, Chuah Kee Ee, Lim Seng Hooi, J. Gawthorne, Yeoh boon Chit, Lo Man Yuk, Cheah Tat Jin, Cheah Hock Khoon, Ooi Hong Lim, Gan Teong Tatt, Yeoh Chin Kee, Cheah Tat Tay, Goh Soon Cheng, Lim Boon Hor, Khoo Heng Kok, Lim Soo Chee, Lim Eew Khay, Goh Boon Keng, Yeoh Boon Swee, E. Lewis, A. H. Macduff, Dr Chuah Yew Seng and several others. Being a member of the Chinese Company of the Penang Volunteers, the deceased was accorded a Military Funeral. The Chinese Company attended in full force under 2nd Lieuts., D. A. M. Brown (Officer Commanding), H. R. Cheeseman and J. R. Brown and the firing party was under the command of Acting Sergeant P. Carmichael. The attendance of the Volunteers at a Chinese funeral --- this being the first in Penang --- made the procession which was a very long one, very impressive. The flags and banners were directly followed by a two-seatter car which was beautifully decked with flowers and wreaths, the hood being draped with the Union Jack. In the car was carried an oil painting of the deceased as a member of the Cadet Corps of Dollar Institution. On the picture was the name of the deceased and the following inscription, "Duty done for King and Country." Deceased's helmet, sidearms and other insignia to show he was a member of the Volunteer Corps here were also conveyed in this car. Behind this car was the firing party marching with arms reversed. Then followed the massive bier which was carried by a large number of men. It was covered with a beautiful "Kuan Tah" (canopy) with a lion on top of it. The canopy was also draped with the Union Jack. The rest of the Volunteers marched behind the coffin in columns of four followed by those who attended the funeral and the women mourrneers. Punctually at the appointed time the cortege left the family residence at Penang Road and proceeded to Prangin via Kimberley Street, Carnarvon Street, Armenian Street, Pitt Street, China Street, Beach Street, Malay Street, Carnarvon Street and Prangin Road, whence the coffin was borne along Burmah Road to the burial ground at Mount Erskine. At the burial ground, the Western Division of the Estate of the late Mr Lim Leng Cheak, was a little shed where the coffin was laid up until the time of the interment which will take place later on. At the burial ground, those who attended the funeral were served with refreshments. After the coffin had been placed in the shed, the firing party, which was resting on its arms reversed as the coffin passed by, was marched up to the shed where it fired three volleys between which the "Last Post" was sounded. The General Salute terminated the proceedings which lasted up to 2 o'clock in the afternoon. There were numerous wreaths sent, among which were the following from Mr Goh Boon Tat, Miss L. Mathieu, Mr Lee Tiang Keng, Messrs Ong Soon Keng, Ong Soon Tat and Neoh Say Eng, Messrs Lim Khoon Khin, Lim Khoon Lam, Lim Chooi Bee and Lim Chooi Kwan, His nephey "Chetty," His nephews Lim Keng Chuan and Lim Keng Sim, Mr Goh Boon Keng, Mrs Goh Boon Keng, Mrs Campbell, Mr and Mrs Yeo Boon Chit, Tatteyes Cheer, Messrs Lam Choon Kee and Lam Say Kee, and Messrs Lim Seng Hooi, Saw Soon Chean, Lee Cheng Ewe, Yeoh Chin Lee, Ng Pak Hoey, Koi Tiang Hock, Tan Choo Fat, Boon Seng Kim, Lee Kang Thew, Boey Siew Chan and Lo Man Yuk. The principal mourners were his bereaved wife, Messrs Lim Eow Hong, Lim Eow Thoon, Lim Eow Hooi, Lim Eow Tong and several others. Mr Lim Eow Hong and Mr Lim Eow Thoon desire to thank those who attended the funeral, sent wreaths or letters of condolence. --- Straits Echo. [Malaya Tribune, 26 July 1916, Page 8]
