(She was a keen musician and at one time she frequently presided at the organ at Rfig Chapel). The Rev. G. R. Davies during his sermon referred to the late Mrs. Wynn's death which had caused an enormous gap for she had led a leading life in the dis- trict. Mrs. Wynn had been president of the Mother's Cialon, the G.F.S. and the Women's Institute. Besides serving on local and county committees which often took her away from home, she took deep interest in the education of the young, especially at the Plas Adda School. She was a good friend to the sick and the poor she had done a great deal of work in connection with the provision of comforts for our lads when they were fighting in the war. Above all she was a devoted Church- woman who did everything in her power for the Church. She bad been a Churchwarden. and she loved the church because it brought her to her Saviour. She was a regular attender at Church every Sunday and set a good example to others. She had done what she could. Death came like a thief in the night and the Lord had swiftly and mercifully called her to her rest. | Mrs. Wynn was fully prepared to meet her God and no doubt she would be numbered amongst the Saints. The service concluded with the singing of the hymn Now the labourer's task is o'er and the organist played the Dead March in Saul, and Chopin's Funeral March.
