Lim Hock Yan and Tan Bee Cheok (Bukit Brown)

Mr. Lim Hock Yan passed away at the age of 44 on 13 February 1936. Madam Tan Bee Cheok passed away at the age of 24 on 15 August 1926. Her tomb is unique as it clearly states that not only Tan Bee Cheok is the wife of Lim Hock Yan, it also links the relationship that Madam Tan Bee Cheok is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tan Gim Wee. This is rare to see on tombs especially for woman during that time. 

From their tombs the name of the children:

Son : Lim Cheng Kiat
Daughter: Lim Siew Chin

Madam Tan Bee Cheok 

Mr. Lim Hock Yan

His wife is Madam Pang Say Nah.

Note: In Tan Gim Wee's obituary notice, Lim Hock Yan is mentioned as son-in-law of Tan Gim Wee, but Tan Bee Cheok was not mentioned as she passed away before her father.
