When Oei Bok Sien passed away, 2 sons were not listed in his obituary notice, Oei Tiau Tjing and Oei Tiau Yong. I suspect that Oei Tiau Tjing is no other than Wee Teow Cheng who passed away in 1930, 1 year earlier than his father.

I am the descendant of Oei Tiau Soon and wondering whether you have any idea who had restored the tombs of Oei Bok Sien and his son. I would like to make contact with whoever has done that wonderful restoration.
