DEATH OF MISS SARAH EVANS, GELLY. - After a few days illness, Miss Sarah Evans died on Saturday last at the early age of 38 years. With her parents, to whom she was a great comfort especially so to her father who is blind, the greatest sympathy is felt; her funeral took place at the Tabernacle Chapel on Tuesday, of which place she was a faithful member. Addresses, in which her Christian character was highly eulogised, were made by the pastor, the Revs W. Davies; Silvan Evans, Aberdare; W. Bowen, and H. T. Jacob, Peniel, near Carmarthen.

Claddedigaeth yn Tabernacl, Llandilo.

Prydnawn dydd Mawrth, Mehefin 5, am 3.30, rhoddwyd yn y ddaear gorff y chwaer Miss Sarah Evans, o'r Gelli, yn ei 40 mlwydd oed. Merch ydoedd i Henry Evans a'i briod Mrs. Evans, y rhai ydynt, fel y perthynasau ereill, mewn galar dwys ar ei hol. Yr oedd ei rhieni yn bwriadu yn yr Hydref i droi allan o fywyd fferm, ac ymneillduo i dy llai, ac yr oeddynt a'u bwriad i'w chymeryd hi gyda hwynt, ond "nid fy meddyliau I yw eich meddyliau chwi." Yr oedd y gladdedigaeth yn lluosog mewn rhif ac yn ddwys mewn teimlad. Cymerwyd rhan yn y gwasanaeth gan y Parchn. H. T. Jacob, Peniel yn y ty, ac i ddechreu yn y capel gan y Parch. D. Silyn Evans, Aberdar, ac yn canlyn caed pregeth yn llawn o arucheledd mewn symledd gan y gweinidog, y Parch. W. Davies; gweddiwyd ar lan y bedd, a rhoddwyd emyn i'w ganu gan y Parch. Thomas (C.M.) Byr ond poenus fu ei chystudd. Nos Fercher ydoedd mewn oedfa yn gwrando pregeth; cyn y boreu yr ydoedd mewn llewyg, ac erbyn nos Sadwrn yr ydoedd wedi marw. Cydymdeimlir yn far a'r rhieni yn nghlych Llandilo, ac a' brawd a'i chwaer yn y Mount Pleasant, yn nghyd a'r plant ereill yn y wlad hon, ac yn America.

Burial at Tabernacle, Llandilo.

On the afternoon of Tuesday, June 5, at 3.30, the body of the sister Miss Sarah Evans, from Gelli, was buried in the ground, aged 40. She was the daughter of Henry Evans and his wife Mrs. Evans, who, like the other relatives, are in deep mourning for her. Her parents intended to move out of farm life in the Autumn, and retire to a smaller house, and they intended to take her with them, but "your thoughts are not mine." The burial was numerous in number and intense in feeling. Rev. H. T. Jacob, Peniel took the service in the house, and to start in the chapel by Rev. D. Silyn Evans, Aberdare, and following there was a sermon full of sublimity in simplicity by the minister, the Rev. W. Davies; a prayer was made at the graveside, and a hymn was given to be sung by the Rev. Thomas (C.M.) Her affliction was short but painful. On Wednesday night she was in a service listening to a sermon; before morning she was in a faint, and by Saturday night she was dead. Our condolences go out to the parents in Llandilo, and to her brother and sister in Mount Pleasant, along with the other children in this country, and in America.
