MARWOLAETH SYDYN.

Aeth Mrs. Catherine Lewis, priod y diweddar Mr. John Lewis, 7, Argyle-terrace, Llwynypia, i ymweled a'i mab Mr. Tom Lewis, goruchwyliwr un lofeydd Cwmgarw. Cyrhaeddodd ei mab, John Lewis (yr hwn oedd newydd ddychwelyd o'r Amerig), yno yn ddyogel. Wedi trenlio ychydig o amser yn mhreswylfod ei phlant (Mr. A. Jenkins), aeth gartref dydd Mawrth, ac yn hollol annysgwyliadwy cydiodd anhwylder ynddi yn sydyn, a gorfu arni neillduo i'r gwely. Cymerwyd y gofal mwyaf tyner oedd yn bosibl am dani, ond bu farw mewn ychydig amser, a hyny yn hollol annisgwyliadwy. 'Roedd Mrs. Lewis yn 67 mlwydd oed. Yr oedd yn fam dyner a duwiol. Bu yn aelod yn nghapel Salem (A.), Llwynypia, am flynyddan meithion, a chawn ei bod yn gyson a'i phroffes. Un o blant yr ymadawedig yw Gwllym Lewis, y perdonydd enwog, ac am flynyddan is-athraw Ysgol Llwynypia. Mae Mr. Lewis yn erfydydd ar hyn o bryd yn ngholeg Bangor. Daearwyd yr hyn oedd farwol o Mrs. Lewis, dydd Sadwrn, yn Nghladdfa Gyhoeddus Trealaw. 'Roedd John Edwards y cyfeiriwyd ato yn byw drws nesaf i Mrs. Lewis, a chludwyd y ddau i'w gorphwysfa yr un diwrnod ac i r un gladdfa. Rhoddodd rhai canoedd eu presenoldeb ar yr achlysur pruddaidd.

SUDDEN DEATH.

Mrs. Catherine Lewis, wife of the late Mr. John Lewis, 7 Argyle-terrace, Llwynypia, was visiting her son Tom Lewis, superintendent of one of the Cwmgarw collieries. Her son, John Lewis (who had just returned from America), arrived there safely. After a short period of time at the residence of one of her children (Mr. A. Jenkins), she went home on Tuesday, and suddenly became unwell and soon became bedridden. The gentlest possible care was taken for her, but she died in a short time, which was totally unexpected. Mrs. Lewis was 67 years old. She was a gentle and godly mother. She was a member of Salem (A.) chapel, Llwynypia for many years, and was always faithful to her religious convictions. One of the deceased's children is Gwilym Lewis, the well-known pianist, and for many years the assistant teacher of Llwynypia School. Mr. Lewis is currently a student at Bangor College. The mortal remains of Mrs. Lewis were buried on Saturday at Trealaw Public Cemetery. John Edwards referred to [in the previous article on the same page] lived next door to Mrs. Lewis, and both were transported to their resting place at the same burial ground on the same day. Several hundred were present on this saddest occasion.
