Western Mail Friday April 23rd. 1926. Cardiff Widow's Quest. (I find this an interesting Item alas no name other than the Mayor of Newport). Three suitors are in the field for the hand of the tall, dark widow, of Cardiff, who recently wrote to the Mayor of Newport asking him to assist her in her search for a second husband. The widow is 50 years of age, and has a daughter aged thirteen. She claims to possess all qualifications of a good housewife and homemaker. Apparently the widow desired a Newportonian spouse, but the swains of Newport have proved somewhat bashful. It is understood that one or two have personally approached the Mayor and made tentative inquiries, but none of them yet has got to the length of putting a formal application on paper. However, the widow will not be disappointed. As the result of the publicity given to her appeal in the Western Mail and the Evening Express three candidates have come forward. One comes from Gilfach Goch, another from Cardiff, and the third from Swansea. All of them would appear to be about the widow's own age. One is a miner of 51, who requires a wife because he is still living with his parents. Another is apparently a man of leisure, for he can present himself for inspection at any time of the day. The mayor (Mr. Cyrus T. CLISSIT), in his new role of matchmaker, will forward the names and addresses of the applicants to the widow, who will then, presumably, get into touch with them and consider their respective qualifications and merits. Mr. CLISSIT does not appear to be embarrassed by his new role, but, at the same time, he is hoping that his services will not generally be sought hereafter. When asked if he would claim the privilige of giving the bride away should a wedding eventuate he maintained a non-committal attitude. (I will keep a look out for it in the future). Mrs. Margaret BISHOP, widow of Mr. A. N. BISHOP, of Cardiff, died at Elmira House, Porth, the residence of her daughter (Mrs. John HUGHES, wife of Mr. John HUGHES, J.P.), in her 73rd year. She had lived at Porth for twenty-six years. The funeral Cemetery on Monday. In the early hours of Thursday morning at 12, Glynrhondda-street, Cardiff, the residence of Professor and Mrs. Morgan WATKIN (son-in-law and daughter), Mrs. Elizabeth JENKINS passed away at the age of 85. Mrs. JENKINS moved to Cardiff twenty years ago from Llan Gwili, Pontardulais. She was a member of the Tabernacle Welsh Baptised Church, Cardiff. She is survived by a large family, including Professor John JENKINS (Gwili) and Mr. David JENKINS (South Wales organiser of the Tin and Sheet Millmen). Mr. Daniel MORGAN the Cardiff chemist, who was interred on Monday, was a son-in-law. The funeral will be at Tynewydd tomorrow (Saturday), following a service at Calfaria, Hendy. Mr. Lewis JENKINS, who was for many years mechanical engineer at Baldwin's Colliery, and died suddenly at his home, 99, Oxford-street, Nantgarw, was buried in the Aberdare Cemetery on Thursday. The large attendance included many representatives of local public bodies. The Revs. T. Herbert JONES, B.D., Tabernacle Baptist (Taff's Well), B. WILLIAMS (Abernant, Aberdare), and Idris MORRIS officiated. The chief mourners were Messrs. Albert, Aneurin, and Idris JENKINS (sons), Mr. D. JENKINS, Aberdare (brother), Messrs. John JONES, Ironbridge Hotel, Aberdare, and J. Penry DAVIES, Cwmllynfell (nephews); Messrs. Emlyn DAVIES, Aberdare, Aneurin JONES, Blackwood, D. JONES, (Nantymoel) and W. DAVIES, Abernant (brothers-in-law);  and Clem POTTER, T.H. ROBERTS, J.T. ROBERTS, A. ROBERTS, H.A. ROBERTS, Fred JENKINS, Spencer WILLIAMS, and E. MOSES (cousins). There was an exceptionally large attendance at the funeral of Mr. William WILLIAMS, of the School House, Llanganten, at Llanganten Church on Thursday. The vicar (the Rev. T. PUGH) and the Rev. Cradoc OWEN, A.T.S. (pastor of the Congregational Church) officiated. The chief mourners were Misses Maud and Ada WILLIAMS (daughters), Mr. and Mrs. Arhur JACOB (brother-in-law and sister), Mr. Wilfred JACOB (nephew), and the Rev. and Mrs. W. JONES, Brynamman (brother-in-law and sister). Practically every home in the district was represented at the graveside. The Rev. Cradoc OWEN conducted a memorial service at the Congregational Chapel in the evening. The marriage took place at Caerwent Parish Church of Capt. Douglas Richmond STANLEY, T.A., only son of Mr. E.C. STANLEY, of Hamilton, New Zealand, to Miss Dorothy Alice Denman, elder daughter of the late Dr. John CROPPER and Mrs. CROPPER, of Mount Ballaw, Chepstow. The Rev. H.E.H. PROBYN (prebendary of Hereford Cathedral and vicar of Bridstow), uncle of the bride, and the Rev. W. Coleman WILLIAMS (vicar of the parish) officiated. The best man was Mr. G.S. NEWMAN. Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah MORGAN, of Pontycymmer, celebrated their golden wedding on Thursday, having been married at Neath in 1876. They are active workers in the Welsh Baptist denomination and were among the founders of the Salem Baptist Church at Pantygog in 1893. Mr. MORGAN, who is 76 years of age, can speak from experience of the many changes that have taken place in the South Wales coalfield, for he worked at the coal face for 62 years prior to his retirement. There are six sons, fourteen grandchildren, and two great grandchildren. John Patrick
