Cheong Keong Ann alias Nyachee was the eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs Cheong Koon Seng. Cheong Keong Ann passed away at the age of 19 on 11th August 1924. She is buried in Hill 1 E, plot 146. From a posting in geni.com, it is said that Cheong Keong Ann is the daughter of Chia Chye Hay Neo.  There is very little information about her other than the fact that she was listed as the eldest daughter of Cheong Koon Seng 鍾坤成, the proprietor of Messrs. Cheong Koon Seng & Co. and holds the honor of being one of the best known pioneer local auctioneers and estate agents in Singapore. Cheong Koon Seng passed away peacefully at his residence, "Valley-side" in No 299 River Valley Road at 9 am on March 20, 1934 at the age of 55. He was survived by his wife (Chia Siew Tin), three sons ( Cheong Hock Chye, Cheong Hock Guan and Cheong Hock Leng), 4 daughters (Cheong Keong Poh,Cheong Keong Tee, Cheong Keong Tuan, Cheong Keong Hee, and 1 adopted daughter, Cheong Keong Hiok)  and 4 grandchildren.
