MARWOLAETHAU.

EVANS. - Ionawr 21ain, 1887, claddwyd Margaret, priod John Evans, Capel Sant Silyn, Gwernogle. Cafodd fyw i'r oedran teg o 61 mylnedd. Treuliodd ei holl fywyd yn ymyl mangre ei genedigaeth. Gweloud ei chwe' bachgen yn ymaiael o un i un, ac yn ymsefydlu yn ngwahanol gylchoedd bywyd. Hanodd o gyff nodedig am ei ymlynia wrth Ymneillduaeth a chrefydd, a daliodd hithan y faner i fyny hyd y diwedd. Dyoddefodd lawer, a gweithiodd yn galed ar hyd ei hoes. Yr oedd yn garedig heb fod yn wastrafflyd, ac yn siriol heb fod yn wenieithus. Canodd lawer canwaith wrth wneyd ei gwaith ar nosau hirion ganaf yn ngoleu y tân mawn; ac fe erys yr emynau a ganaf yn nghof ei phlant hyd byth. Dyoddefodd boenau dirdynol am wythnosau, a bu farw yn union fel y bu byw, yn son am ei phriod, a'i phlant, a'r chrefydd. Cafodd gladdedigaeth anghyffredin o luosog a pharchus. Pregethwyd yn nghapel Gwernogle, llu bu yn aelod am dros 40 mlynedd, gan y Parch D. Williams, Rhydybont, oddiar y geiriau hyny - 'Gwerthfawr yn ngolwg yr Arglwydd yw marwolaeth ei saint'. Siaradwyd a gweddiwyd ar lan ei bedd yn mynwent Llanfihangel Rhos-y-corn gan ei gweinidog, y Parch T. D. Evans. Heddwch i lwch un o wragedd goreu ac un o famau tyneraf y ddaear, medd ei mab galarus. - D. Silyn Evans.

DEATHS.

EVANS. - January 21st, 1887, Margaret, wife of John Evans, Capel Sant Silyn, Gwernogle, was buried. She lived to the fair age of 61 years. She spent her whole life near the premises of her birth. She saw her six boys leave one by one and settle in different circles of life. She was noted for her adherence to Dissent and religion, and she held the flag up until the end. She suffered a lot, and worked hard all her life. She was kind without being wasteful, and cheerful without being flattering. She sang many a hundred times while doing her work on long nights in the light of the peat fire; and the hymns she sung will remain in the memory of her children forever. She suffered excruciating pains for weeks, and died just as she had lived, talking about her husband, her children, and the religion. She had an unusually large and respectful burial. A sermon was preached in the Gwernogle chapel, where she was a member for over 40 years, by Rev D. Williams, Rhydybont, from those words - 'Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints'. There was a talk and prayer at her graveside in Llanfihangel Rhos-y-corn cemetery by her pastor, the Rev T. D. Evans. Peace to the ashes of one of the best women and one of the gentlest mothers on earth, says her grieving son. - D. Silyn Evans.
