DOUBLE FATALITY.
INQUEST ON CWMAMAN FIREMAN AND ABERDARE REPAIRER.
On Friday Mr. R. J. Rhys, coroner, held an inquest at the Cwmaman Institute on the bodies of David Thomas, 47, single, 11 Llanwonno Road, Cwmaman, fireman, and Daniel Davies, 11 Graig Place, Aberdare, repairer, 46 years of age, married. Both men were killed by a fall at the Cwmaman Colliery.
Evidence of identification in the case of Davies was given by William Edwards, brother-in-law.
William Gough, a collier, employed in the Ffaldau New Seven-feet Seam, said he was with Davies, Thomas, and a man named David Cox, clearing a fall at the end of the Double Parting. He and David Thomas had previously examined the roof, and it appeared quite safe. Whilst they were clearing the fall at 10.25 a.m. another fall occurred; killed Davies outright, and injured Thomas badly. Witness and Cox were also injured. Both deceased men were pinned under the fall for a short time.
Joseph Evans, haulier, said he was driving rubbish from the fall towards the pit. He had taken ten trams away, and about two trams-full remained on the ground. A second fall came and caught the four men above referred to. The second fall would be about ten trams full. It was on the pit side.
Penry Davies, overman, said he gave instructions to Gough. Cox and Davies to clear the fall, and he and Thomas supervised the clearance of same. Two pairs of timber had discharged with the first fall, and three pairs with the second. He had previously examined the timber on the pit side of the fall, and they appeared perfectly safe. The second fall came without any warning whatever. The timber were 6 1/2 feet arms and 9ft. collars, and the "top" fell up to 6ft.
William Jones, manager, produced a plan of the workings.
The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death."
Councillor Owen Powell, miners' agent, was present on behalf of the Miners' Federation, and Guardian Tom Morgan, agent, for the Colliery Firemen's Association.
On Saturday the interment of Mr. Daniel Davies took place at the Aberdare Cemetery. The mourners were: Mrs. Davies, widow; Mr. and Mrs. J. Davies, brother; Mr. and Mrs. Stephens, Blaengwynfi, and Miss E. Davies, Llanarth, sisters; Mr. Plummer, Gorseinon, brother-in-law; Mrs J. C. Plummer.

The article also mentions a Daniel Davies, with a brother-in-law William Edwards. Is this the same William Edwards as David Thomas's brother-in-law?

CWMAMAN HERO DEAD.
We regret to announce the death, which occurred on Saturday last at the Royal Infirmary, Sunderland, of Sergeant Morgan Thomas (No. 5775), 12 Aman Street, of the 2nd Welsh Regiment (C. Company), now at the front. Sergeant Thomas, who was a Reservist, was drafted to the front on August 5th, and went through the battle of Moins unscathed. At the battle of Ypres on November 17th he was wounded in the head by a bullet which penetrated the right cheek and came out through the left eye. He was sent to the Duchess of Westminster's Hospital at La Tonquet, Paris, where he remained unlil the beginning of this year. He was then transferred to England, and taken to the Royal Infirmary, Sunderland, where he succumbed to his wounds. The deceased hero, who was 39 years of age on Friday last, was highly popular in the locality, and possessed a host of friends. The body was brought home on Sunday last. The funeral (military) takes place on Thursday (to-day). He leaves a sorrowing widow and six little children, the eldest of whom is only 11 years of age.
