Tan Beng Chye and family (Bukit Brown)

The family cluster of Tan Gim Wee has always been an interesting cluster of family tombs. Over the years, i passed through the once fenced gates to visit. Unfortunately, i have been slow to map the family tree of people buried in that cluster. While checking out the tomb that is partially covered by the fig tree, a name was visible: Madam Ang Chuan Neo , with no mention of death date.
Checking closer the tomb shoulder, i could also make up two name of her daughters, Tan Siew Lian and Tan Siew Chin (the rest of the name were partially covered). Checking further with the information i have, i found an article that mentions a Madam Ang Chuan Neo who passed away on 15th December 1980 at the age of 77. She is survived by her daughters; Tan Siew Lian, Tan Siew Chin, Tan Siew Kee, Tan Siew Hok Hazel, Tan Siew Tuan Noreen, Nellie Koh (adopted) and son-in-laws; Loh Mah Siong, Wee Kheng Siong, Teo Khoo Siong, Chia Boon Siang, Lawrence, Quek Liang Teck, George and Lim Tiong Hup, Henry and many grand and great grand children. She was interned in Choa Chu Kang cemetery. So far the findings of the empty tomb and 2 of her daughters name matches. There is also a record of an engagement of Tan Siew Lan (daughter of Tan Beng Chye) to Loh Moh Siang, and Tan Beng Chye is the son of Tan Gim Wee, hence the reason the tomb is within the compound of the gated area, that leads me to the conclusion that the tomb covered by the fig tree is the tomb of Tan Beng Chye.
