The broken marble stone reads in loving memory of Chan Pek Eng (Yew Hai). To me that is already interesting the fact that her alias is etched out clearly. This is similar to the tomb of Mr. and Mrs. Chia Hood Theam, where on the tomb of Mrs. Chia Hood Theam nee Madam Yeo Lan Neo, her alias Nyonya Tawee was also clearly etched.
A tree probably did great damage to the tomb of Madam Chan Pek Eng but after piecing the marble pieces together, i am able to find out that she died on 21 June 1934. She was born on 3 December 1873. Her age was listed as 61.
Location of tomb
Block 3 Section C, plot 42
