Husband; Tan Hood Swee
Tan Hood Swee is the son of Tan Kim Teck. Tan Kim Teck ( a produce merchant and Government Contractor ) who passed away on 28th July 1912 at the age of 69 at his residence in No 12 Yan Kit Road. He is survived by 5 sons, 2 daughters and 26 grnadchildren. He was buried in Tiong Bahru Cemetery. In the obituary notice, it mentions also that Tan Kim Teck is the father-in-law of Kho Keng Chuan.

In 1895, there was an account of Tan Hood Swee (cashier at Messrs. Lambert Bros. and son of Government Contractor, Tan Kim Teck) who rushed to the aid of a Major McCallum, who injured himself in the head when the horse of his paladin bolted as he was getting out of it. The only other info i have was about Tan Hood Swee and a brankruptcy notice taken on him in 1933.
