The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., July 18, 1922
CHANG, CHOP FONG "Tan Wo"
TAN WO, PIONEER CHINESE MERCHANT, HANAPEPE, PASSES AWAY.  Chang Chop Fong, better 
known in business circles for the past 35 years on this island as Tan Wo, passed 
away at Kapaa at his son's homestead at 4:30 o'clock Monday morning, July 10th, of 
heart failure. He was the first merchant to open up a store in Hanapepe at the 
time when the Hawaiian Sugar Company started its plantation, and he has lived 
there continuously. A few years ago, he went out of the store business and devoted 
his time entirely to the commission line, representing various Honolulu firms, 
principally the Honolulu Cracker Company. Owing to ill health, he retired from 
this work and was succeeded by his son D. W. Chang. He was a leader among his 
countrymen in civic and religious matters, and many will regret his untimely 
death. He would have been 71 years old next month. Those who survive him are a 
widow, also 70 years of age, and a brother, and the following children:  Mesdames 
Ming, H. Choy, Gunn and M. H. Choy, and Miss Eleanor Chang of Honolulu, Mrs. C. 
Wong of Hanapepe, Tom Chang and Chang Yau of the Bank of Bishop & Co., and also 44 
grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild.
