DEATH OF MR. J. R. JONES

We regret to announce the death of Mr. J. R. Jones, 8, Hill-street, eldest son of the late Mr. R. Jones, saddler, which took place on Monday, after a short illness of pneumonia. Deceased became an apprentice at the "Herald" Office, about 20 years ago, and had been connected with the office ever since, and had acted as proof reader up to about a fortnight ago, when he was taken ill. He was also a member of St. David's Church, and took an active part in the singing. He was the organist of the Church, and was a member of the Royal Eryri Male Voice Choir. Great sympathy is felt with his widow and young daughter in their bereavement. Deceased was 36 years of age. The funeral, which will be a public one, will take place on Saturday.

THE FUNERAL OF MR. J. R. JONES

On Saturday, the remains of Mr. J. R. Jones, 8, Hill-street, were interred at Llanbeblig Churchyard. The funeral was one of the largest seen in the town for years. The Rev. J. W. Wynne Jones, M. A., vicar, officiated at the house, assisted by the Revs. Alban Lloyd, Gwilym Lewis, Lloyd Roberts, J. Griffith. St. David's Church Choir and a section of the Eryri Male Voice Choir, led the procession. Deceased, it will be remembered, was the choir master of St. David's Church, and he was also a member of the Eryri Male Voice Choir. Then, followed the printers of the town and fellow employees of the deceased at the "Herald" Office. Hymns were sung on the way, and in the Church an anthem was sung, under the leadership of Mr. John Cottrell. Miss Pritchard and Mr. Pughe Griffith played the organ accompaniment. As the coffin was carried out of the Church the "Dead March" was played on the organ. The procession was arranged by Mr. Peter Angel, the local secretary of the Typographical Association, Mr. John Lloyd, Eleanor-street, being the undertaker. At the St. David's Church, on Sunday, a memorial service was held, when the Rev. Captain Griffith preached from 1 Corinthian xv., 26 and 57. The Church was full. Mr. Willie Morris played the "Dead March" at the close.

TWO DEATHS

The death occurred, on Saturday, of Mr. Hugh Williams, Rose and Crown, Crown-street, after a fortnight's severe illness. Deceased, who was 39 years of age, had been ailing for some nine months or more. A sad feature in connection with the family is the fact that his little daughter Ellen, aged ten, died rather suddenly on Monday morning. Much sympathy is being shown towards the stricken family. Father and daughter were buried at Llanwnda Churchyard on Thursday.

DEATH

We regret to record the death of Mr. John Roberts, joiner, which took place this morning, at his residence, Victoria-road, Carnarvon. The deceased was well-known to a large circle of friends. He was out as late as last Thursday-week, when he returned from Lleyn, after having been there for a few days' rest for the benefit of his health. It appears, however, that his heart was affected. He was a faithful member of Salem Congregational Church, and had taken deep interest in the Mission School connected with the church for over 25 years. He was also a prominent Oddfellow, and one of the trustees of the Juvenile Lodge. He leaves a widow and two sons to mourn his loss.
