        The funeral of Mrs. Scott, Pentre, arranged for gentlemen, was largely attended on Saturday afternoon, in spite of the inclement weather. Local tradesmen were present in large numbers, paying their last tributes to one who had led a very quiet and unostentatious life for very many years in Pentre. Her readiness to assist in good causes and her kindness to neighbours were two outstanding virtues, to which Canon Lewis referred at the service at the house. At the service at Treorchy Cemetery, the Revs. - Griffiths and - Philipant assisted the rev. Canon, and the singing was conducted by Mr. David Jones (organist). There were twelve wreaths sent by the following friends and relatives - Mr. Scott and children; Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Merthyr; Mr. and Mrs. Scott, Great Western Hotel, Merthyr; Mrs. Parfitt and Mrs. Jones, Pontypridd; Mr. and Mrs. Ted Parfitt, Ton; Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Port Talbot; St. Peter's Church Choir; Mr. and Mrs. Davies, Llewellyn Hotel; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, bookseller; Mr. W. J. Jones, surveyor; Miss Mary Cule, Pentre; and Miss Mary Thomas, Pentre. The carriages contained the following mourners :- First coach - Mr. Hy. Scott (husband), Mr. Albert Scott (son), Mr. W. H. Rees (son-in-law), Mr. Sidney Williams, Treorchy (nephew), and the Rev. Canon Lewis; second coach - Mr. Gomer Williams, Treorchy, Mr. Tom John, M.A., Tonypandy, Mr. Dd.

        Colliery Fatality at Treorchy.

        Impressive Funeral.

        As reported in our previous issue, a sad calamity befel Mr. Gomer Williams (saddler) and Mrs. Williams, 39, Clarke Street, last week, their dear son, Ivor Hugh Williams, meeting with an untimely death at the Abergorchy Colliery, Treorchy. The news of the fatality cast quite a gloom through the neighbourhood, the young fellow, who was only 15 years of age, being an universal favourite, while great sympathy was shown towards his bereaved family. The funeral, which took place at Treorchy Cemetery, was most impressive, the colliery being stopped at an early hour, thus allowing the miners an opportunity of attending in large numbers ot pay their last token of respect to the departed. En route, an amassed choir, under the conductorship of Mr. David Jones, Gosen (C.M.) Chapel, sang with impressive fervour a number of beautiful hymns, while the coffin bore floral tributes from the family, P.C. Bevan (Blaina), Miss Maggie Jones (Bettws), and a large bouquet from the Messrs. Jones (Co-operative Stores, Treorchy). Besides the family, the train of mourners included Mr. and Mrs. A. Scott, Pentre; Mr. and Mrs. Davies, Treforest; Mr. and Mrs. Roberts, Salisbury; Mr. Tom John (president, National Union of Teachers), Tonypandy, and Mrs. John; Mr. J. W. John (schoolmaster) and Mrs. John, Ynyshir; Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Williams, Llwynypia; Messrs. Joseph and Llewellyn John and Miss Maggie John, Bettws; Miss Olive Davies; Mr. Dd. Wm. Davies and Mr. Walter Ashley, Ton-Pentre; Mrs. Margaret Rees and Mrs. A. Evans, Ynyshir; Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Dowlais; and Mr. Lewis Richards, Ebbw Vale. The rev. gentlemen officiating were Revs. T. Powell, Gosen (C.M.) Chapel; D. Rhagfyr Jones, Bethania; and Mr. Jones, curate, St. Dyfodwg's Welsh Church. We extend with others our heartfelt sympathy to the afflicted family in their sad hour of trial.

         I wasn't able to positively identify this grave, as the stone has fallen with the inscribed side downwards and is thus unreadable. I located the plot from the diagram, and also looked at the surrounding stones to check that I hadn't miscounted.
