A WELL-KNOWN TOWNSMAN

On Sunday night, after a long illness, the death took place of Mr. Wm. Jones, blacksmith, of 47, Eleanor-street. The deceased, who was 75 years of age, was a native of Carnarvon, where he was held in high esteem. In early life he went to sea in a small sailing vessel, of which his father was master, and afterwards served an apprenticeship as blacksmith at Messrs. H. Owen and Son's foundry. He subsequently went to Liverpool, where he was foreman of a large smithy. He returned to Carnarvon, while still a young man, and worked for many years at Messrs. H. Owen and Son's foundry, and later at Messrs. De Winton's and ultimately carried on a business of his own as a ship's blacksmith. He was compelled to retire about eight years ago, owing to ill-health. He had read extensively, being well versed in history, and was regarded as a keen politician. He had much to say about old Carnarvon and its people, and his reminiscences would have made interesting reading. He was a staunch Nonconformist, and was a member of the Pendref Congregational Church. A wife and three sons - Mr. John Jones, "South Wales Daily News," Merthyr Tydfil; Mr. Wm. Jones, carpenter, Beaumaris; Mr. Thos. Jones, chemist, Liverpool, and also a sister, Mrs. Owen Roberts, Garth, Bangor, - survive. The internment took place on Thursday afternoon at St. Thomas's Churchyard, Upper Llandwrog, the funeral being of a semi-public character. The Rev. Ll. B. Roberts, Pendref, and the Rev. W. A. Roberts, Birkenhead, officiated at the house and at the graveside. Mrs. Jones and family desire to express their appreciation and thanks for sympathy so kindly shown during their sad bereavement.

DEATH OF MR. R. J. DAVIDS

By the death of Mr. R. J. Davids, which took place on Monday, Carnarvon has lost one of its oldest and best known residents. He came to the town about forty years ago, and in course of time was appointed surveyor to the then Local Board. It was he who prepared a scheme for the conversion of the Morfa into a public park, which is admitted to be one of the most attractive recreation grounds in North Wales. He greatly interested himself in sanitation, and was instrumental in bringing about a number of improvements. In addition to being a surveyor he was also an architect, and a number of houses built for the late Dr. John Williams in Church-street were designed by him. He had been the lessee of the Bethel-road Allotments for 35 years, and was one of the first members of the Royal Welsh Yacht Club. He had attained the great age of 84 years. A brother of the deceased was the late Mr. Smith Davids, Twthill. The remains were interred on Thursday morning at Llanfaglan Churchyard, the funeral being of a private character. The principal mourners were Mrs. C. H. Rees (formerly of Carnarvon) and Mr. Davids' niece and nephew of the deceased respectively. There were also present the Rev. D. E. G. Lloyd, B.A., Rev. D. L. Williams, M.A. (vicar of Llanwnda), Colonel Ruck, Messrs. R. P. Griffith, W. S. Jones, D. S. Davidson, and E. Roberts, M.A., Maesincla. The Rev. D. E. G. Lloyd officiated at the house, and the Rev.
