Step-daughters: Song Suan Neo, Song Gek Neo, Song Gin Neo

If we refer to Lim Chan Siew ( 林纘綬 ) who is the son of Lim Teck Whee and grandson of Lim Liak (Lim Leack), he passed away at the age of 55. He is survived by his widow (a Madam Ong Sek Kim and 5 sons; Lim Chin Chye (alias Bachik), Lim Eng Chiang, Lim Ong Seng Lee (alias Charlie Ong),Lim Eng Hock and Lim Eng Chye (Harry). From oral accounts from a descendant, only Charlie Lim Ong Seng Lee was actually adopted, but i guess out of respect, the rest of Lim Chan Siew's son are also mention on Ong Siok Oh's tomb. 

Fortunately from Bukitbrown.org, i know that Ong Sek Kim / Ong Siok Kim and Ong Siok Oh are sisters. 

Location of tomb 

Madam Ong Siok Oh is buried in Hill 4 Section A, plot 1258.
