The headstone and shoulder was barely discernable and it looks like in a few more years, it would be complete engulfed by the roots and vine of the fig tree. However after some digging we found marble slabs which details who the person that is buried here as well as the name of her children and grandchildren.
Mrs. Ho Tiang Keng nee Teonh Geok Cheng passed away at the age of 72 at her residence, No. 319 Geylang Road on 5 December 1929.
She leaves behind;
1 son; Ho Kim Seng
1 daughter-in-law
1 daughter: Ho Chien Kim
1 son-in-law; Wee Chye Teck
6 grandchildren.
Grandsons listed; Ho Thiam Chuan, Ho Thiam Siew, Ho Thiam Swee
The only information i could find about Ho Tiang Keng was the he was a committee member of the Udang Association during the time when Wee Thiam Ghee was President. (1914).
