Profile:
Harry Gee Hon was born in 1877 in Shekki province in China. By 1903 he was a shareholder in W. Warley and Company in Glen Innes along with his future brothers-in-law, Charles and William Wong See. In 1905 he married Cecilia Wong See in China. They returned to Glen Innes until the early 1920s when, with the closure of the Warley store, they moved to Tenterfield and opened Sun Sun and Company. Harry and Cecilia Hon had eleven children, nine of whom survived to adulthood. Harry Hon died in 1950. His children continued the Sun Sun store until its closure in 1973. (Golden Threads Record P6)
