my forgoten and lost great grandfather's grave site
which was only found recently
together with eldest aunt's grave and fourth granduncle,Lee Tiow Hor(Rompin relatives) grave.
The land where the graves are was said to belong to great grandmother's(Tan Liam Neo)
sister's husband (Lee Swee Cheng) who lives in Singapore
and the land duties of the plot together with another by the Pahang Riverside
where once there was a house(presumely that's where our greatgrandfather lives)
are paid yearly by Grand Uncle Lee Teow Lye
before he passed the batton to uncle Lee Yong Guan.
Lee Elay, our great grandfather who came from China was a duck trader
where he will go by his bamboo raft up and down the Pahang river
to trade for ducks.
The site at Kampung Langgar is about 5.5km from the Pekan and Kampung Lamir junction.
The map to the place.
This is uncle Yong Guan when we first went looking for the graves in 2005.
The same place today is overgrown with bushes.
Even the palm oil tree is already as high as a coconut tree.
In 2005 i went with my dad and uncle Yong Guan,
the bushes then .
and after 2 hours of chopping with 7 parangs and grave are remarked
but it is difficult to identify whose it is
because wood was used earlier instead of granite.
My mum and aunt Kim Tee.
There is another site of two graves at granduncle land at Kg Ubai,Pekan
of which one is my aunt.
