Dear Rob, Tycroes is about 2 km southwest of Ammanford. It includes a street named Heol Brown, so it is clearly the place referred to in the funeral report. I can see three chapels in Tycroes, named Bethesda, Caersalem and Moriah. However Tycroes is less than 2 km south of the village of Saron, which has a Baptist chapel named Saron with its own burial yard. My guess is that the burial took place at Saron Chapel - see http://goo.gl/maps/Lk3qN on Google maps.

The deceased lady celebrated her 100th birthday last December and was wonderfully able and strong till within a few days of her death, retaining her faculties to the end. The service at the house was conducted by the Rev A Grant (Moriah) and the Revs T R Roberts (Pisgah), L G Lewis (Pontardawe) and Glasnant Young (Cwmtwrch) officiated at the Chapel and graveside. The favourite hymns of the deceased , "Yn y dyforedd" and "O Fryniau Caersalem" were sung at the Chapel. The Revs L G Lewis and T R Roberts paid high tributes to the deceased, she being a very faithful member at Bethesda. Many of those present remember the day she took part in the opening ceremony of the new Chapel at Bethesda about 10 years ago. Beautiful floral tributes were sent form Ardwyn House and Mr & Mrs D Thomas. The deepest sympathy is extended to all the family. -- Robert Vaughan B.Sc (Hons) MIMMM C.Eng ================================ Dyfed list REVISED resources http://home.clara.net/daibevan/DyfedML.html [Dec2012] ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to DYFED-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
