Newspapers of Neath and Swansea areas.

What were the newspapers that served the Neath and Swansea areas in the early 1900's ?? What were the form of Obituaries or Death Notices that may have appeared in those newspapers in that time period ?? Would they have contained information on surviving family members and the place of internment ?? I am trying to locate burial information for Edwin Harris, a retired copper worker that died in 1907. I am hopeful that if I can locate his place of internment, it will also lead me to his spouse Elizabeth (Yeo) Harris. Elizabeth survived her spouse for a period of time which is difficult to determine due to the difficulty of locating her demise in the BMD index due to common name of Elizabeth Harris.
