When i saw the tomb, it was covered with creepers with a huge trunk of fallen tree narrowly missing hitting it and initially i thought it was an exhumed tomb as well as it was small. But cleaning further, it was totally intact just the headstone itself was short and not of typical Teochew design shape although the engraving style made me assume that. Three names were etched on the headstone but who was buried here ? That is the most common question we have for Teochew tombs. The most important clue was the date of birth and death at the altar table. Born 28 July 1878 - Died 28 June 1949. From the burial registrar i can confirm that the person buried here is Madam Kwek Hui Teck.
Madam Kwek Hui Teck passed away at the age of 76 on 28 June 1949. Her dialect is Teochew
