Obituaries for John Yarwood 1862-1930

Due to the length of the original article  I've  had to scan the obituary  in  two section.
Below is another obituary for My Great Grandfather John Yarwood . I've been able to use the information contained in these to identify some more relatives.
 Noted is the fact that it lists the Horton family as cousins which when I can find the exact link will probably lead to a positive connection with the Dallow family that I've previously featured.

Obituaries can be wonderful for throwing up branches of the family tree that have been forgotten with time . Certainly these obituaries threw up quite a few new names for me to research and piece together. So here's my attempt to identify the mourners listed above :
Mr & Mrs Grange Yarwood were the only surviving son of the deceased and his late wife Emma (nee Grange). Their names being Thomas Grange Yarwood and his wife Ethel (nee Stretch).
Mr & Mrs Maurice Cooper  (my Grandparents) John & Emma's only surviving daughter Elsie Margaret (nee Yarwood ) and her husband Maurice Cooper.
Mr G.B. Yarwood (brother) was George Baguley Yarwood , John's elder brother. George Baguley was also the name of John's maternal Grandfather.
Mr & Mrs G Mounfield (sister & brother-in-law) were John's sister Emily and her husband George Mounfield.
Mrs Fairhurst (sister-in-law) was one of Emma's sister , Annie (nee Grange) . Her late husband was John Fairhurst (a book-keeper born in Runcorn who went on to work in the offices of the docks in Liverpool whilst living in a large house in Toxteth .)
Mr F.R. Pierpoint (brother-in-law) 
Miss A. Mounfield and Mr J. Mounfield (cousins)
Mr W.Horton (born 1874) was William Horton the son of Margaret Grange and William Horton
Mr G.Horton (born 1877) was George Horton another son of Margaret Grange and William Horton
Mr & Mrs T Horton (born 1879) was Thomas Horton the youngest son of Margaret Grange and William Horton.
Mr Wilfred Mounfield
Mr Trevor Mounfield
Mr & Mrs J. Johnson - Johnson was the family of Emma's sister Mary Grange and her husband Samuel Eyton Johnson . 
Mr A.Cook
Mr L.Salmon was George Leslie S. Salmon (1900-1977) .The son of John's sister Mary Ellen Yarwood and her husband Thomas Francis Salmon.
(the above were nephews & nieces)

****2 mysteries above . Unable to identify Mr A.Cook as a relative and no joy with the J.Johnson - Watkin & Clarrie Johnson did attend but no luck locating a J.Johnson.****
