Mr. Red (紅) ? - Ang Peng Siong (Bukit Brown)

The tombstone was in bad condition and marble headstone missing. Searching the grounds in front of the tombstone, fortunately we managed to locate the marble headstone which was broken in several pieces and piece it back like a mini jigsaw puzzle. After cleaning the tomb, we place it on top of the altar table. Another puzzle. the marble headstone mentions his surname as Red (紅), hence, i nicknamed this tomb as belonging to Mr. Red which is of course strange. 

After going through the burial registrar, we found that his name was Ang Peng Siong (紅平祥). He passed away on 18 December 1927.  From the burial registrar, i can't really tell his age but it looks like 43 years old.
