The tomb of Madam Teo Kim Hong carries a sad secret that was discovered when going through the burial records. Madam Teo Kim Hong, wife of Tan Ean Long passed away at the age of 34 on 13 March 1936. The epitaph detailed a loving wife of 15 years who died at the young age of 34, after giving birth to several children.
Tan Kim Hong died of difficulties during child labor. Her still born daughter died on 13 March 1936 and is buried in Pauper I Division II plot 180 A. The name of deceased listed as Tan Ean Long's child with no age given.
The story of Madam Teo Kim Hong reminds me of the story of Elsie Tan Kim Neo with exception that the infant boy of Madam Elsie Tan Kim Neo is buried together with her mother.
