O. V. Jones and Dr G. Wyn Griffith.

Owen Vaughan Jones, obstetrician and gynaecologist, was born on 27 December 1907 at Llanwnda, Caernarfonshire and educated at Caernarfon County School and Liverpool University where he studied medicine. He moved to work at the C & A Infirmary in 1937 and was the first consultant obstetrician to be appointed by Caernarfonshire County Council. The maternity service initially based in a small ward at the C & A, expanded to become a well equipped modern hospital known as St. David's for obstetrics, gynaecology and paediatrics.

O.V. Jones was vice-president of the Northern Society of Obstetricians, and as well as having numerous papers published, he also undertook a heavy programme of lectures and papers to conferences throughout Britain and the United States. In 1963 he became a member of the University Court of the University of Wales Bangor and served as chairman of the council. He was also a founder of the Welsh Medical Society, Y Gymdeithas Feddygol, and an honorary member of the gorsedd of the National Eisteddfod of Wales.
