Tan Kim Teat passed away in 1942 leaving behind his children;
Sons: Tan Kay Hoe, Tan Tommy
Daughters: Tan Boo Yoke, Tan Bong Soo.
What is interesting about his tomb located in Hill 1 ( not able to find his plot number) is the spelling mistakes etched on the marble. "Deerly Regrettld by his"

What is equally interesting is that within 2 weeks, we found the tomb of his wife while exploring another area in Bukit Brown (namely Hill 3 Section A). Her marble slab below the altar table like many others was broken and upon cleaning, was able to make out the following:

Location of tomb
I am not able to find the plot number for Mr. Tan Kim Teat who is buried in Hill 1 Division E (just in front of the tomb of Madam Tan Gim Neo whose plot number is 89) . Madam Yong Chiang Neo is buried in Hill 3 Section A, plot 877.
