    Late Rev Thomas Davies
    Funeral at Briton Ferry
    The funeral of the Rev. Thomas Davies, Briton Ferry, took place on Thursday afternoon at the New Cemetery. Among the clergy present were the Revs. D. Lewis (vicar), D.C. Morris and J. Hughes (curates). There was a large attendance of non-conformist ministers.

    Singular prophecy fulfilled

    A correspondent writes: The late Rev Thomas Davies, Giant's Grave, was a remarkable man in many respects. During his long career he had, probably, christened and buried more people than any minister in the district. He was secretary of the Briton Ferry branch of the Bible Society for sixteen years. While he was returning from his wife's funeral some twelve months ago, he told his daughter than he could only live a year after her mother. Strange to say, the prediction came true, for Mr Davies died on the anniversary of his wife's death. Last Sunday, the services were taken at Zoar Chapel by the Rev. Edward Owen. Whilst he was giving out the opening hymn, a robin flew across the pulpit and back again as if to make sure whether its old friend was there or not. The services were most touching, especially that at night.
