Not sure what type of article you are after but there are a few quirky and interesting items about Bethesda eg in 1937 a fox living amongst a flock of sheep, and also in 1937 an unknown coffin found in a grave (records only showed 2 burials, however there were 3 coffins). Also many earlier items searching under Glanogwen.

It's interesting what you said about Glanogwen,I live next to it,it's in a bit of a state now but there are some very old graves there. I will look into what you read though,thanks.

I access old newspapers online at home (free) using my National Library Card - many libraries have eresources which include British Library Newspapers. :D
