Wee Whatt Neo (Bukit Brown)

Initially i thought my eyes played trick on me when i saw the weathered granite tombstone all in English which i decided to chalked to read it more clearly. It reads; 

177A

In Loving Memory 

Miss Wee Whatt Neo 

Age 81 years 

Died 9th March 1936.

.

Miss Wee Whatt Neo / Oei Whatt Neo (21 years old)

The first thing that came to my mind was....a Miss who passed away at 81 years ??  (Usually they will list as Madam). At home, i tried to search the burial registrar to see if she was listed in the burial registrar and i manage to find an entry for a Miss Oei Whatt Neo, Date of Death: 9th March 1936, 20 years, Pauper Section 1, Division I, plot 177A. (Relooking at the picture one more time, ok maybe i misread the tomb mason carving. The 2 was too cursive. It was suppose to be 21, but looks a bit like 81. Part of the mystery solved.
