William Daniel Jones

Lived his whole life in Merthyr Tydfil. Worked as a collier from an early age, but was a staunch union man and was involved in the early days of the Labour Party\'s founding in Merthyr. He was banned from working down the pits due to his activities supporting mine workers in those heady days before any sort of labour laws were in force. He made a living by becoming a Barber and I was told often that the floor boards in the front room of his house at 13, Baden terrace had worn thin over the years where he walked around cutting the hair on heads of his customers. He died in 1958 and was buried in Cefn Coed Cemetery.
