In loving memory

The Mayflower Musical and Dramatic Association had their music practice at Mr. Cho Beng Watt's residence, 13 Tong Watt Road on 22 October 1931. However, post 1931 onwards, that unit number was more associated with Mr. Tan Cheng Kang. I could not find any more information on Cho Beng Watt after 1931.
His mother tomb are in Lao Sua and was documented by Raymond Goh's blog on Cho Pek Lim and Tan Beow Neo. The children listed on the tomb includes;
Son: Cho Beng Whatt, Cho Beng Chye
Daughter: Cho Kim Neo, Cho Chwee Neo
Location of tomb
Cho Beng Watt is buried in Block 5 Section A, plot 48. In the burial registry entry his name was written as Cho Beng Huat.
