Mrs. Lim Ie Ging nee Oei Khoen Nio passed away at age of 62 at 13 Scotts Road on 9 June 1930. Oei Khoen Nio is the daughter of Major Oei Tiong Ham. Thanks to Kwee Hongsien, i am able to get a glimpse of another rare picture of the funeral and hearse of the late Madam Oei Khoen Nio before it headed out to Bukit Brown. The photo was taken at the family residence in 13 Scotts Road. It is an amazing rich with details of the family members in mourning clothes as well as slight glimpse on the left of how the house at No. 13 Scotts Road look like.
In the picture below, i can make out, Lim Ie Ging and their children, Dr. Albert Lim Liat Juay (1890-1970), Dr. Harold Lim Liat Hin (1893-1973) , Lim Liat Boen (1896-1962)

Family Photo
The family photo below was likely taken in front porch of No. 13 Scotts Road with Mr. and Mrs Lim Ie Ging seated and surrounded by their children and grandchildren. This photo was likely taken before 1930 (as Madam Oei khoen Nio passed away on June 1930).

13 Scotts Road was the family home of Mr. and Mrs. Lim Ie Ging before they moved to 20 Cuscaden Road. Unfortunately i am not able to find any photos of 13 Scotts Road before it was demolished to make way for commercial and hotel space.
