Y Negesydd, a Corris newspaper states that Elias Hope of Tanyfron, Corris died after a protracted illness on May 1st 1897. He was from Prestatyn and had lived in Corris for 35 years. He left a widow to mourn his loss. It further states that he was buried at Rehoboth Cemetery.
The MI 's for Rehoboth are available & there is no stone there for that name. I suspect that "Dolgellau" is correct that he was buried at the church (for which there are no MI's yet)
Regards.
