Hi,

Towyn died in 1974.  His wife, Mary Yarmiy Jones' obit is in the Brandon Sun, Oct 6 1979.  It says that Mary, the widow of the late Towyn Jones, formerly of 357-16th Street, Brandon, and lately of 110 Sherburn St, Winnipeg, died in Winnipeg on Sept 28 1979.  She was predeceased by her husband Towyn Jones in 1974.   She is survived by her son G, daughter in law P, and 2 grandchildren D and S, all of Winnipeg.  Also survived by one brother, Jack Yarmiy of Winnipeg, and 5 sisters: Dora Benedicson of Calgary; Annie McLarnon of St. Eustache, Quebec; Sene Bedard of Victoriaville, Quebec; Hazel Martin of Winnipeg and Helen Bowen of Montreal, Quebec.  Interment Brandon Cemetery.

Towyn's obit is in the Brandon Sun on Nov 22 1974.  It says he was 62 and had been a member of the Sun's composing room staff for 31 years.   He died early "this morning" (would be the 22nd).   He is survived by his wife Mary and son G, 27 of Winnipeg.  He was "deaf and mute"...born in Wales in 1912, he attended a special school there for "the deaf and mute" before he came to Canada.  In Canada, he attended a special school in Tuxedo for 6 years.  When the Sun converted to offset printing in 1972, he trained in how to do it.  His foreman said that as a printer, he was second to none.  He was active in organizations for the deaf, he was an avid bowler and a member of the St. David's society.  He was the senior most member of the International Typographical Union, local 700.

Thanks RunKitty,
For the additional information, I must check the cemetery information again.

You are welcome

I think Dorothy's maiden name was Lamb.  There is a short note in the Macgregor Herald (Dec 9 1943) saying that a shower was held for Mrs Iolo Jones (nee Dorothy Lamb)

Also from 1945 - Petty Officer Iolo Jones of the R.C.N.V.R. is spending a furlough with Mrs Jones at the home of Mr and Mrs T D Lamb.

Obituary for William Evans McFadden in the Brandon Sun, July 22, 1978.  Looks like he was the second husband of Sophie Jones.  Obit says that William died June 22 in Font Hill, Ontario, in his 71st year.  He was born at Broadview Farm, Rivers, Manitoba on April 26 1908.  In 1934, he married Jessie Wotton.  They had 2 sons, 1 daughter and 5 grandchildren.  Jessie died in 1962.  In 1966, he married Sophie (Jones) McDonald, who survives him.  He is also survived by step son D McDonald of Niagara Falls, Ontario.  Also 2 brothers Chester of Rivers and Earl of Rhodesia, and one sister Alice Jenner of Regina.

Great that you have so many leads

Yes - Towyn's son was Gwyn.  I wasn't sure if he was still living, so I only posted his initial.
