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.

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."

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.

His bride is a charming young lady of excellent Chinese family, who has had moreover the great advantage of having been educated for some time in America and is familiar with the English language, ways of thought, and social observances. Miss Wong Duang Ging arrived from China five days ago with her father Mr Wong Nai Siong, but it is interesting to know that their acquainanceship and knowledge of each other has matured through a course of direct personal correspondence. A private marriage ceremony was held at the Presbyterian church at 7 a.m. yesterday morning in the presence of only a very few intimate friends of the bride and bridegroom, at which Miss Ferris acted as bridesmaid, Mr Tan Hup Seng as best man, the bride being given away by her father. Following that, on return to the residence of Mr Lim Thian Sang, uncle of the bridegroom, the ancestral wedding customs of the Chinese were followed in which the bride and bridegroom together do obeisance to heaven in thanksgiving. A reception was held in the afternoon at 4.30 p.m. at "San Giang Whee," the country residence of Mr Lim Thian Sang. Here a large number of friends, both European and Chinese, assembled to offer their congratulations to the happy pair. This was an entirely new social departure from Chinese usage as it indicates the intention, admirable and laudable in every way, of Dr and Mrs Boon Keng to keep in  social touch with European society in a manner a long way in advance of the usual customs hitherto prevailing amongst the Chinese. The guests as they were announced were presented by the bridegroom to his bride who spoke to each a few words of modest and graceful welcome. Dr Boon Keng was dressed in a rich Chinese costume and his bride in a dainty Chinese costume of pink silk, bordered with dark blue silk, all richly embroidered. Cake and wine having been served to the company, H.E. the Deputy Governor, the Hon'ble J. A. Swettenham, C.M.G., with perhaps a certain natural diffidence due to his own state of bacherlorhood, proposed in feeling terms the health and happiness of the newly wedded pair. He alluded to the success which had attended Dr Boon Keng's career, and felt sure that though the bridegroom had that day taken the most momentous step of his life, that success would still continue to mark his career. At the conclusion of the Deputy Governor's speech Mr Tan Jiak Kim called for three cheers, on the call of the Hon'ble J. A. Swettenham, being ggiven for the bride. In reply, Dr Boon Keng, thanking his friends sincerely for the honour they had done himself and his wife, and for the cordial way in which they had joined to wish them a happy and prosperous future, alluded to himself as being proud to call himself one of Singapore's sons. (Hear, hear.) He was grateful for the kindness of his European friends as well as of his Chinese friends. Indeed it had always been his desire to see a closer association between the more advanced sections of the European and Asiatic community and he trusted that he and his wife would be privileged to have opportunities of assisting in this desirable object. (Applause). Such a bringing of the different elements of the community could only result in good, for out of mutual knowledge would arise mutual respect and esteem. He would once more in the name of his wife and himself thank the Deputy Govvernor for proposing their health so kindly, and their friends around them for the equally kind way in which the toast had been received. Dr Lim Boon Keng's speech, which was delivered with much feeling, was loudly applauded. There wsas no "going away" as it is understood that Dr Boon Keng and his bride will remain at the country house of Mr Lim Thian Sang for the present. At the close of the reception the guests said good-bye to the happy pair, wishing them happiness and prosperity. In one case a gentleman inadvertently wished them Many Happy Returns of the Day, which, however, was really intended to be the graceful wish that the newly-married couple should live to see many happy anniversaries of their wedding --- a pretty idea. In spite of the wet weather and the very short notice, a large number of friends of the bridegroom went out to "San Giang Hwee" to attend the reception.

Lee Cheng Yean aka Lee Cheng Yan, death 18 May 1911, Singapore

Deat at Magenta Cottage, Singapore, on May 18th, Lee Cheng Yean, J.P., aged 71. [The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser (1884-1942), 19 May 1911, Page 6]

We greatly regret to annunce the death of Mr Lee Cheng Yean, J.P., one of the leading Chinese gentlemen of Singapore. Mr Cheng Yean a few days ago celebrated his 70th birthday. Yesterday afternoon he was at Magenta Cottage when he was seized with sudden illness and died from failure of the heart about half past seven. The body was brought down to the town house of the deceased, 55 Stanley-st., and the preliminary arrangements made for the funeral, of which notice will be given later. The late Mr Lee Cheng Yean was born in Malacca in 1841. He established himself in business in 1859 as Chop Chin Joo, and Lee Cheng Yean  & Co. By hard work and integrity he prospered and retired from the business about twenty years ago, leavint its management to his only son Mr Lee Choon Guan. A man of considerable wealth, Mr Lee Cheng Yean took a leading part in the community of which he was a distinguished member. He was a Justice of the Peace for Singapore, a member of the Chinese Advisory Board, a trustee of the Chinese Temple, a member of the committee of Tan Tock Seng Hospital, and served on many public committees. He is also the founder of the Free School in Serangoon-rd, and was unostentatiously charitable in many directions. A visit to Europe in 1883 gave him a wider view of the possibilities of Straits Chinese, and he was always in the forefront of any good movement. He will be greatly missed, and great sympathy will be felt for his son and relatives. [The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser (1884-1942), 19 May 1911, Page 6]

It is with deep regret that we have to record the death of one of the most respected of our Chinese citizens, Mr Lee Cheng Yan, which occurred at his town residence, Magenta Cottagem Killiney Road, yesterday evening. It was only on the 9th inst. that the deceased gentleman celebrated his seventy-first birthday at Mandalay Villa, Tanjong Katong, and it was then apparent to his nearer acquaintances, who went out to congratulate the old gentleman, that he  was far from well. For about a fortnight before his death he had been under medical treatment, and yesterday afternoon his condition took a turn for the worst, the end coming during the evening from failure of the heart. The late Mr Lee Cheng Yan, who was born at Malacca in 1841, at the age of nineteen founded the firrm of Lee Cheng Yan and Company, Chop Chin Joo, in Malacca Street. He retired from active business some twenty years ago, and died a wealthy man. While being a shrewd man of business he found pleasure in associating himself with movements of a philanthropic character and contributed largely to funds for worthy objects, such, for instand, as thee Hong Joo Chinese Free School, in Serangoon Eoad, of which he was the founder. He was a Justice of the Peace for the Settlement of Singapore, besides being connected officially with the Tan Tock Seng Hospital, the Anglo-Chinese Free School, the Chinese Advisory Board, he Po Leung Kuk, the Lam Hak Tang School, at North Bridge Road, the Ee Lam Teng Club and a number of other institutions. Since he retired from business,  the management of the firm of Lee Cheng Yan and Company has been in the hands of his only son, Mr Lee Choon Guan, who, it may be recalled, for five years represented the Central Ward, No. 2, on the Municipal Council. Among the grandchildren who survive him are Messrs Lee Pang Seng and Lee Pang Chuan who left Singapore a few months ago to study in London, where the deceased gentleman himself spent part of a holiday some twenty-eight years ago. The funeral will take place at the family burial ground at Serangoon Road at a date to be announced later. The body now lies at 5 Stanley Street where arrangements are being completed for the obsequies. Flags are half-masted at the Ee Lam Teng Club and the Weekly Entertainment Club.

Mr Beng Wan had been in failing health for about seven months, and latterly had not been in attendance at Municipal meetings, althouggh he retained his seat on the Board until the commencement of the present month ; when he resigned, and Mr A. L. Donaldson was elected in his place. Mr Beng Wan was forty years of age, and up till seven months ago had shown all signs of health ; but since that time, the insidious disease which terminated on Friday last, in inflammation of the lungs necessitated his retirement from a great many of his private, and the whole of his public duties.

He leaves three brothers, the elder of whom, Mr Tan Hup Seng, will probably take his position as Manager of the firm.

Lim Eng Keng, death 1 February 1892, Singapore

DEATH of Mr. LIM ENG KENG. The New Year festivities  among a large class of the Chinese community were hardly in swing when they received a check in the sad death of Mr Lim Eng Keng, which occurred last night at half past twelve. The deceased towkay had been complaining of trouble with his lungs for several days but with the characteristic dislike of the Chinese to call in medical attendance, neglected to send for a doctor. He was fairly well yesterday, however, and was driving about during the afternoon. About ten o'clock he was taken very ill and died soon after midnight. Dr Galloway being sent for too late to reach him before he expired. Mr Lim Eng Keng was the eldest of the three sons of Lim Lan, his brothers being Eng Wan and Eng Yong. He has been managing partner of the firm of the Lim Lan & Co. for years and in that position, as a Municipal Commissioner and as a Director of the Singapore Insurance Co., and the Singapore Land Co., has been held in great respect as a quiet but earnest representative of the best interests of the Baba class in the Straits. He was 55 years of age and leaves one child and several grand-children. He has been on the Municipal Commission for over three years, and though thoroughly conservative as so many of the Chinese are, in all questions connected with his countrymen, he was able to give much valuable aid to that body. His death leaves another vacancy in the Board, which following so closely on that of Mr Tan Beng Wan may be anticipated to cause some little difficulty to fill.

He has done great service to his community quietly and unobtrusively especially in matters relating to education and social welfare work." Sir Shenton paid these tributes to Mr Chan in 1941 when he presented him with the insignia on his appontment as a Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George.
