The tomb of Madam Tan Gek Cheng was in bad condition. Not only it was overgrown, the headstone and altar table collapsed. Fortunately with some work, we could make out her name and also her children. Madam Tan Gek Cheng passed away at the age of 70 on 23 July 1934. In a December 1934, i got insight that probate of Madam Tan Seok Hay alias Tan Gek Cheng was placed on the newspapers. Executor of her estate was Lim Chin Eck and Lim Ang Moh. From her tomb, we can established that Lim Chin Eck was her son and Lim Ang Moh was her grandson.
