I think Craifcefnparc is near Swansea (Glamorgan), postcode SA6 5RN.
Caerau may be the one which is four miles west of Cardiff, Glamorgan.

The following article appeard in the Cumberland, Allegany County, Md. Times 3 March 1930
DEATHS IN WALES
Word has been received of the death of Philip REESE, aged 35 years, CRAIGCEFNPARC, WALES, brother of Rev. W.D. Reese, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, this city (presumed to be Frostburg, Maryland), which occured at his home in Wales on Feb. 6th. He is survived by his widow and two children. His mother, Mrs. MIRA REESE, also of Wales, survives.
MRS. ARTHUR THOMAS, Welsh Hill (in Frostburg) also received word this week, advising of the death of her father which occured at CAERAU, WALES on Feb 15th.
I've spelled the names of the towns in Wales as they appear in the paper. Does anyone know where they're located?
Frostburg, MD was a very Welsh town due to it being at the head of the George's Creek Coal Seam. Many Welsh immigrants came to this area because the owners of the coal mines paid their way. My Dando and Welsh families both came to this area because of the coal mines.
