Mrs. Kow Biow Tee nee Lim Kiat Neo (Bukit Brown)

This tomb with beautiful peacock tiles caught my eye in my exploration of Bukit Brown. The head stone marble in the shape of a shield, carries the name of Mrs. Kow Biow Tee (Madam Lim Kiat Neo). She was only 22 when she passed away on 11 April 1936. 

She is survived by 

1 son, Kow Hock Chye

1 daughter, Kow Hock Neo.

On June 4, 1938, subject to a payment of $100, Mr. Kow Biow Tee was allowed to be discharged from his bankruptcy by High Court Judge, Mr Justice McElwaine. The insolvency was the result of a series of illness in the family. Mr. Kow Biow Tee was a clerk with the Singapore Rubber Works and was under the company employment for 18 years. Although his monthly salary was $135, he had to support a large family including an old mother. His address was listed as No. 277 Pasir Panjang Road.

There is no more insights i could gather further for now.
