Lim Luan Neo (Seh Ong)

Madam Lim Luan Neo passed away at the age of 74 on 12 July 1924. On her tomb, it mentions that she is the beloved grand mother of Lim Chin Chye, Lim Eng Chiang, Lim Eng Hock, Lim Eng Chye and Ong Seng Lee. 

This means that Madam Lim Luan Neo daughters is Ong Siok Kim (or spelt as Ong Sek Kim) and Ong Siok Oh. Her son-in-law is Lim Chan Siew. I don't know her husband name but for sure she married an Ong for her to be buried in Seh Ong Cemetery.

Lim Chan Siew (林纘綬 ) is the son of Lim Teck Whee and grandson of Lim Liak (Lim Leack). Lim Chan Siew passed away at the age of 55 at his residence, No 196-2 Tiong Bahru Road on 23 July 1931. He is survived by his widow 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)
Daughter: Lim Teo Sek Neo
Grandson: Lim Bock Chwee

From Geni.com, the wife of Lim Chan Siew is Madam Ong Sek Kim (also spelt as Ong Siok Kim). In my research i found another lady by the name of Madam Ong Siok Oh who passed away at the age of 68 at her residence 28 Everton Road on 31 January 1941. She is survived by 4 adopted sons, Messrs. Lim Ong Seng Lee (Charlie), Lim Eng Chiang, John Lim and Harry Lim,. She is the aunty of Mr. Lim Chin Chye. Madam Ong Siok Oh is buried in Bukit Brown Cemetery. [Although the obituary notice states 4 adopted sons, Madam Ong Siok Oh adopted only Messrs. Lim Ong Seng Lee (Charlie) ] . Madam Ong Siok Oh is buried in Hill 4 Section A, plot 1258.

Upright the headstone

We managed to upright the headstone of Madam Lim Luan Neo. It took two person to do that cause when i tried it on my own, it was very heavy ! The tomb is located in the same hill where the tomb of Mr. Ong Chwee Tow is.
