Thanks for getting this video posted. I didn’t know Ella Chew bought the house already built, I thought the Chews built it. If you want copies of more house pictures you can get in touch with me.
Are these the same Chew Family as Joseph and Samuel Chew who had a sawmill in Pembroke (1898)? Any information on when the Chews immigrated to Canada and their origins?
