Mrs. Seow Cheng Poh (Kopi Sua)

While exploring the Hokkien Cemetery off Mount Pleasant Road and Onreat Road colloquially known as "Kopi Sua" i came across a tomb covered with moss and creepers. After cleaning it. i could make out the name: Madam Seow Ho Hung Oi , died 7th October 1962 at the age of 62. On the tomb shoulder are the names of her children and grandchildren:
Sons: Seow Ah Kow, Seow Siew Tee
Daughters: Seow Ah Eng, Seow Ah Lay
Grandchildren: David Tan, Roney Tan. Richard Tan. Rosalind Tan, Evelyn Tan

[Postnote: 2022 - the tomb of Mrs, Seow Cheng Poh is being taken care by her grandson].

I am unable to find any information if do a straight search for Madam Seow and her sons. Fortunately, the name of daughter (Seow Ah Lay) and the grandchildren names (David Tan, Roney Tan. Richard Tan. Rosalind Tan, Evelyn Tan) allowed me to find out and deduce via the newspaper archives that Madam Seow Ho Hung Oi is Mrs. Seow Cheng Poh.
