Darren Davies provided me with an obituary for John Edward Williams from the Free Press. I do not have the date of death at present, although know that he died on 17th May 1896 from the death notice in the South Wales Daily News below this article:

DEATH OF MR J. E. WILLIAMS,

OF TYPOTH

It is with great regret that we announce the death, after a long illness, of Mr John Edward Williams, of Typoth Farm, near Pontypool, which took place on Sunday afternoon. The deceased, who was 76 years of age, and was very highly esteemed throughout the district, had, during his long and useful life, actively identified himself with every good movement which tended to ameliorate the condition of all classes of society. He took especial interest in the cause of Temperance, of which he was a strong supporter for more than 50 years. As a Guardian of the Pontypool Union, as a member of the Panteg Local Board and of the School Board, and in other public offices, he rendered valuable services to the community. Mr Williams was a native of Montgomeryshire. He was baptised in the year 1840 Glascoed, where he remained about 12 years; he then removed to Llangwm, and was also connected with the Church worshipping at Usk until he came to Pontypool. He resided at Typoth Farm for about 23 years. So respected was he that he was called upon to fill the office of Deacon in all the churches with which he was associated. He took a very active part in religious work, and often filled neighbouring pulpits.

THE FUNERAL

The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon at Pontrhydyrun Chapel, the mournful procession, on its way from Typoth, calling forth marks of sympathy and respect which were eloquent testimony to the high esteem in which Mr Williams was held by all persons far and near. The service at the house was conducted by the Rev J. Williams, Crane-street, after which the cortege pursued its way to the chapel. There were a large number of mourners, including the following members of the family and friends of the deceased: - First coach, Mrs Williams (widow); Mr Oliver Williams (eldest son); Misses Lizzie and – Williams.
