In addition to the donations recently [ made by the Chinese residents of the town to the local hospital, the secretary of the Hospital Board asks us to acknowledge with thanks, a very handsome donation of ,£lO from Kwong Chong, proprietor of the Aramoho market gardens. In order to show the value of this generosity it may be said that, with the Government subsidy, this represents .£22 to the Hospital funds.

A Wanganui newspaper is kicking up much dust over the discovery that big consignments of celery, cabbage, cauli- flowers, etc., have been forwarded to Hawke's Bay. Wellington, Auckland. Hawera, New Plymouth, and it is need- less to say that the consignors are Chinaman. There is, it appears, a very big business dono between tho Chinese of Aramoho and the important markets of the North Island, and it should af- ford considerable pleasure and gratifi- cation locally that the products of Ara- jnoho soil should be m such demand from practically all parts of the North Island. "It does afford considerable pleasure and gratification" to the Chow, but isn't there a European gardener somewhere who Is feeling very much ashamed?, NZ Truth , Issue 413, 24 May 1913, Page 6

Check out page 207 of the new book, Sons of the Soil. Ngan Sueng Fore came from Yuen Har, Po-on Yue. Due to the tradition of family migration, ie family supporting family, he may also have been from this area. www.sonsofthesoil.co.nz/Do you have anymore information on the man you are seeking? Ngan Kwong Chong For (How did you get the extra name "For" from?) If you are seeking information on Ngan Fore, I can help. His son in law is in Auckland. I actually believe that Ngan Fore and Kwong Chong are the same person. paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=AS19310221.2.61&srpos=3&e=-------10--1----0Kwong+Chong+--I can probably help with other questions. send me a private mesage. PS If you are the author of : Waverley The Early Years Laraine Sole Please can you tell me if there is any information on Chan Bing Tai family Ian Bing was born there but his family know nothing of the history in Waverley. I have written a book on 100 years of Chinese in Taranaki 1870-1970. |
