Burial of the Late Mr. Leyshon Thomas. Most, inclement weather prevailed on Saturday afternoon last during the funeral of Mr. Leyshon Thomas, land- lord of the Berrington Arms, Cwmtwrch. The wind blew across the Common with terrific force, and the rain fell in tor- rents during the whole of the afternoon. There were hundreds of sympathisers pre- sent, and they were subjected to a trying ordeal. The deceased, it will be remem- bered, passed away on Tuesday of last week, after only three days' illness. He was 34 years of age, and had kept the Berrington for about seven years. Mr. Thomaa was of a kind and genial dis- position, and took a keen interest in the philanthropic work of the R.A.O.B. He was recently raised to the degree of C.P. in the Order, and two weeks prior to his death he was presented with a jewel by thp R.A.O.B. at the Loyal John Owen Lodge, which was held at the Berrington. He had been married for fourteen years and it is strange to state that on the anniversary of his wedding his coffin was brought into his home. He was a popular figure in the Cwmtwrch district and was a good all round sportsman. De- ceased leaves a widow and four children for whom deepest sympathy is felt. Three of his brothers and two sisters, viz., Joseph, David, Daniel, Mary Hannah and Katie, are in the United States. At the funeiral on Saturday about 80 brothers of the R.A.O.B. formed into line at the head of the procession, under the charge of Bro. W. Hopkin, P. Grand Marshall.
