Madam Lim Lye How (Bukit Brown)

This Teochew tomb is just next to the tomb of Leow Chia Heng. The clue that helped me figured out who was buried here was the plot number 429 and year 1947. Madam Lim Lye How passed away at the age of 81 at the residence of her son, Mr. Chua Hock Chai, 392 Orchard Road. She leaves behind her 1 son, 1 daughter, 1 daughter-in-law, 11 grandchildren and several grandchildren to mourn her loss.
