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
