K. Patchee Haj Mohamed Noor, Death, October 1917, Penang

 We regret to announce the sudden and unexpected death of Mr. K. Patchee Haj Mohamed Noor, which took place at his residence in Burmah Road, Penang, at about two o'clock on Monday morning. Deceased, who was about 53 years of age, was a large house and landed property owner and one of the leading stevedores in Penang. He was President of the M.F.A., Penang Peranakan Club, Muslim Mahajana Sabha and a member of the Mohamedan Advisory Board. He was a generous man and had contributed largely to all the War Funds. Though he had been in indifferent health of late, his end was certainly not expected, for he only attended the celebrations of his second son's wedding the night previous.--S.E.
