Very little has been found out about Evert Melcher, husband of the youngest daughter of John Olson and Ching Ah Fung. He does not apparently spell his name with an "s", so is not a member of the famous Melchers family, we suppose. He was Dutch and lived and worked in Shanghai at the time that he and Nellie married. He is supposed to have worked for the East India Company and the family was posted to Indonesia. They returned to Holland during WW2. Nellie and Evert separated and it is not known whether Nellie, who emigrated to the U.S., married again. Nor is it known whether the couple had more children than their son known as "Sonny Boy", who was the youngest grandchild of John Olson snr and who was born about 1917. It would be interesting to know more about Evert Melcher and his time in Shanghai. From the badge shown in the 1917 photo of him, he would seem to have been a member of the Shanghai Race Club.
