Western Mail Saturday April 3rd 1926. A young man, Edward GRIFFITHS, of Caerleon, who recently left the local hospital after sustaining a broken leg, the result of a motor-cycle accident, essayed his first ride again on Good Friday. He had not ridden more than half a mile from his home when he collided with a car. As a result he was terribly cut about the face and head, and sustained a fractured wrist. Miss Maisie HERBERT, one of the injured in the bus accident at Beaufort on Wednesday night, is slightly better, but it has been found necessary to amputate her injury arm. The district coroner (Mr. W.R. DAUNCEY) sitting with a jury, opened the inquest on Thursday on Mary Ann SMITH, who died as a result of injuries sustained in the bus accident. Only evidence of identification was taken, and the inquest was adjourned until Tuesday, April 13. Mr. Anthony Tregerthen THOMAS, a native of Llanelly, and a familiar figure in the tin-plate town, who at the age of 91 died a few days ago at the residence of his daughter in Pontypridd. Mr. THOMAS was a well-known local artist, and many of his paintings of old Llanelly- when a small village in 1854- are left as a lasting memento of "A.T.T." (head and shoulder photo). The death occurred from meningitis of Mrs. Sybil D. STEWART, wife of Mr. Robert B. STEWART, at her home, Belmont, Colchester-avenue, Penylan, Cardiff. Mr. STEWART holds an appointment under the Cambrian Combine and is a well-known Cardiff docksman. Mrs. STEWART was only ill on Sunday. She was a well-known member of the Whitchurch Golf Club, and her kindly and sunny nature caused her to be much esteemed by her fellow-members. Mrs. STEWART was a native of the Rhondda, but had lived many years in Cardiff. The funeral will take place to-day (Saturday).
