From Wikipedia
Ho Kom-tong (1866–1950), a younger brother, was a prominent businessman and philanthropist who succeeded Ho Fook as Head Compradore at Jardine Matheson. He had 12 wives and reportedly more than 30 children, one of whom was Grace Ho (何爱瑜), the mother of the Chinese actor Bruce Lee. Kom Tong Hall, the former Hong Kong residence of Ho Kom-tong, now houses the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Museum.

“Visit to Chiu Yuen Cemetery, Pokfulam
On the suitably gray and gloomy morning of Saturday 9th December, May Holdsworth and Geoffrey Emerson collected 25 members for a visit to the Chiu Yuen Cemetery for Eurasians in Pokfulam. Andrew Tse, a great-grandson of Ho Kom-tong, had arranged for permission to visit and led the group round.
Our first stop was at the imposing tomb of the mother of the famous Ho brothers (Ho Tung, Ho Fook and Ho Kom-tong). The inscription on its headstone implies that their father (Ho Sze-man) is also buried there. In fact the father, Charles Henry Maurice Bosman, was interred in England. Family lore has it that the tomb contains only an item or two of his clothing. (Yiguanzhong, tombs containing clothing or other personal effects of the deceased, whose remains are either missing or buried elsewhere, are of course found in Chinese tradition.)”
