Originally owned by John Jewitt, Seaforth's only Chinese food restau- ram located at 13 Main St. South, was purchased by present owners Anna and Yee in January 1985. The couple had previously been leasing a restaurant in London. In addition to offering a wide variety of Chinese and a few Canadian dish- es, Wong's Grill offers daily specials and on Fridays a smorgasbord lunch. All of the food, including the Canadian cuisine, is homemade. All ingredients are fresh and prepared as it is ordered and not in advance. A special attraction of this restaurant is that peo- ple who are on special or restrictive diets can order specialty dishes with or without certain ingredi- ents, depending on their needs. "Come in and let us know. You have a choice," says Anna. "People on diets can come for the vegetables." She adds that Chinese food is low in fat. Busy cooking in the kitchen at Wong's Grill is Yee. Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 3:30 to 8:30 p.m. The restaurant also employs a few part-time staff. Anna says Wong's has many loyal customers. "We always keep the customer happy. We're very pleased that every- body has given us a lot of support in the Huron County area." For spice lovers, Wong's Grill features a number of curry and Sze Chuan dish- es. "A lot of people love them. They want it HOT. We cook to people's tastes," says Yee. Wong's Grill provides take-out meals for one to 100, or more! "There's no limit on the number of people..iust be sure to order ahead of time," says Anna. Wong's Grill is open Personal care and attention at Box & Smith Funeral Chapel Christopher Smith is the owner and sole employee of Box and Smith Funeral Chapel at 47 High Street in Seaforth. As such he makes it a personal priori- ty to provide caring and compassionate attention to the families who require his services. "My motto is to be dedi- cated to confidence," Smith says. "I strive to treat the families as if they were my own." Because Smith works alone, his family helping out when needed, he is personally involved with his clients and therefore able to pro- vide the sensitive care such circumstances require. The funeral home was founded by one of Seaforth's early active merchant families in the 1920's. H.C. Box was one of three undertakers in Seaforth. Ernie Box also acted as funeral director, funerals often being held in his furniture store. His son Richard took over the funeral business as well as the furniture store and built the funeral home at its current address in 1951. The M.L. Watts Funeral Home purchased the busi- ness when Richard Box died and operated it until 1985 at which time it was purchased by Michael Falconer. Falconer prided himself on "being dedicat- ed to offering the finest of service to Families who choose us for the care of their loved ones," a tradi- tion Smith adopted when he purchased the funeral home in July of 1993. "We strive to be an active part of the Seaforth community, sponsoring community groups with whatever project they are involved with whenever possible," Smith states. "We are proud to have been the first funeral home in the Ausahle-Bayfield conservation area to plant trees in memory of those we have conducted ser- vices for." This is just one of many extra details the chapel provides. Box and Smith Funeral Chapel would like to thank Seaforth and area residents for their support and hopes to continue providing their special services for many years to come.
