Madam Ong Bong Low (former Bukit Brown)

Madam Ong Bong Low passed away at the age of 79 on 14 February 1938. Her tomb used to be at Block 4 Section C, plot 289. While exploring Choa Chu Kang Columbarium, i saw a niche with a picture of a tomb. My gut feeling told me it was from Bukit Brown, partly because of the peg number i  saw on the photo, 2557 (which was used by the documenting team before exhumation). Another interesting thing i saw was the miniature jars placed in front of the niche. This is likely the underground artifact that was place inside the coffin of Madam Ong Bong Low. I say this because i have seen a number of them during exhibitions and artifacts collected after the end of the documentation. 

Madam Ong Bong Low passed away on 14 February 1938 (plot 289). The names of her children i can make out are;

Sons: Yeo Ban Seng, Yeo Ban Teck, Yeo Ban Leck, Yeo Hoon Guan

Daughter: Lim Ang Keng, ? , ?
