Madam Ang Chwee Neo nee Mrs Kee Yew Chye (Bukit Brown)

Madam Ang Chwee Neo's (Mrs. Kee Yew Chye) tomb caught my attention, as inscribed on the tomb are the words; In loving memory of Madam Ang Chwee Neo, age 28 years who passed away 30.3.1936. Leaves behind her beloved husband, Kee Yew Chye and her only daughter Kee Swan Neo (age 3 years) "Gone not forgotten". I was able to find the corresponding obituary notice which also gives insight that her husband was Mr. Kee Yew Chye of the Asiatic Petroleum Co. (S.S) Ltd. Pulau Bukom. Madam Ang Chwee Neo passed away at the General Hospital and the funeral cortege left from No 26-H Everton Road to Bukit Brown Hill 4 A, plot 185.
