Interestingly enough when Yeo Bong Soo name is mentioned, i recall that Yeo Bong Soo was also mentioned as a son of Yeo Bian Chuan.  In fact, Yeo Bong Soo was the executor of the estate of Yeo Bian Hong in 1942.

It is fortunate that from the name of the children in Yeo Bian Hong tomb, i can match an obituary notice of Yeo Bong Soo to them. Yeo Bong Soo passed away on 29 October 1980. He leaves behind;

Yeo Bian Chuan was born in Rhio (Riau island of Indonesia which was under Netherlands East Indies control). He came at a very young age to Singapore and was educated in Singapore. He was a produce broker and the senior partner of Messrs. Yeo Bian Chuan and Co, 22-A Change Alley. After residing in the Straits Settlement for the past 52 years, he was naturalised as a British subject in 1921. Yeo Bian Chuan was also known as the "forgotten hero", a chinese towkay that saved the lives of no less of 17 Europeans during the "Singapore Mutiny".
