        MARWOLAETH MRS. SARAH EVANS, ANWYL BRIOD Y PARCH. D. M. EVANS, SALEM, LLANDILO.

        Bu farw y chwaer garedig uchod dydd Llun, Medi 3ydd, 1883, yn 56 mlwydd oed, wedi ychydig oriau o gystudd. Cafodd ergyd o'r parlys mud yn y boreu, a bu farw yn yr hwyr, er tristwch mawr i'w phriod a'i mab, ac ar colled a galar i'r eglwys yn Salem, a'r ardal yn gyffredinol. Dydd Iau canlynol ymgasglodd torf alarus yn nghyd er hebrwng ei gweddillion marwol i'w daearu yn nghladdfa Salem, pryd y gweinyddwyd yn y ty, y capel, a'r gladdfa gan y Parch. W. R. Davies, Bethlehem; D. Bowen, Hermon; J. Thomas, B.D., Capel Isaac; T. J. Edwards, Llandilo, a B. Evans, Melincrythan, Castellnedd, y rhai a ddygasant dystiolaeth uchel i gymeriad yr ymadawedig yn ei chysylltiadau teuluaidd, cymydogaethol, ac elwysig.

        Ganwyd Mrs. Evans mewn ffermdy o'r enw Crugcwn, yn mhlwyf Llandilo, Awst 9fed, 1827. Merch ydoedd i Mr. a Mrs. David a Sarah Evans. Hi oedd yr hynaf o wyth o blant, ac o'r wyth plentyn hyny nid oes ond dau fab yn awr ar dir y byw. Yr oedd Mrs. Evans yn ddeiliades teimladau crefyddol yn bur ieuanc, a phan yn 16eg oed ymunodd â'r eglwys yn Salem, pryd y rhoddwyd deheulaw cymdeithas iddi gan y diweddar Barch. D. Jones, Gwynfe, yr hwn oedd gweinidog Salem yr amser hwnw. Priododd y waith gyntaf â Mr. David Williams, Rhydywgwydd; bu iddynt dri o blant, ond cafodd hi yfed dyfroedd chwerwon Marah trwy gladdu Williams, a dau o'r plant mewn amser byr. Ar y 9fed o Chwefror, 1872, ymunodd mewn priodas â'r Parch. D. M. Evans, a phrofodd yn ymgeledd cymhwys iddo am ychydig dros un flynedd ar ddeg a haner. Teimlir yn chwith ar ei hol yn yr ardal, yr eglwys, ac yn y teulu, oblegyd yr oedd hi yn un oedd "yn gwarchod gartref yn dda." Caffed ein brawd gysgod adenydd yr Hollalluog yn nydd yr ystorm, yr hon a'r cyfarfyddodd mor annysgwyliadwy. Ymddangosai Mrs. Evans mor iach ac mor debyg i fyw i weled hir oes a nemawr un yn yr ardal; ond ar awr annysgwyliadwy daeth gwys i'w chyrchu oddiyma. Barn y rhai a'i hadwaenent oreu ydyw iddi newid y byd hwn am y "wlad well, a hono yn un nefol," er byred y rhybudd olaf a gafodd. Gobeithiwn y bydd y lluaws llythyrau a dderbyniodd ein brawd oddiwrth frodyr yn y weinidogaeth ac ereill, yn dadgan eu cydymdeimlad ag ef yn ei brofedigaeth chwerw, yn gordial i'w feddwl trallodedig ef, a'i fab mabwysiedig.

        Death of Mrs. Sarah Evans, dear wife of Rev. D. M. Evans, Salem, Llandilo.

        The above dear sister died on Monday, September 3rd, 1883, aged 56, after a few hours of suffering. She had a stroke of the mute paralysis in the morning, and died in the evening, to the great sadness of her husband and her son, and to the loss and grief of the church in Salem, and the area in general. The following Thursday a crowd of mourners gathered together to escort her mortal remains to burial in the Salem burial ground, when the Rev. W. R. Davies, Bethlehem; D. Bowen, Hermon; J. Thomas, B.D., Isaac's Chapel; T. J. Edwards, Llandilo, and B. Evans, Melincrythan, Castellnead, who gave high testimony to the character of the deceased in her family, neighborhood, and religious relations.

        Mrs Evans was born in a farmhouse called Crugcwn, in the parish of Llandilo, August 9th, 1827. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David and Sarah Evans. She was the eldest of eight children, and of those eight children there are only two sons now on earth. Mrs. Evans had religious feelings at a very young age, and when she was 16 she joined the church in Salem, when she was given the right hand of society by the late Rev. D. Jones, Gwynfe, who was Salem's minister at that time. She married the first time with Mr. David Williams, Rhydywgwydd; they had three children, but she got to drink Marah's bitter waters by burying Williams and two of the children in a short time. On the 9th of February, 1872, she joined in marriage with the Rev. D. M. Evans, and she proved to be a competent companion for him for a little over eleven and a half years. She is left behind in the area, the church, and in the family, because she was one who "guarded the home well." Our sister found the shadow of the wings of the Almighty in the day of the storm, which she met so unexpectedly. It appeared Mrs. Evans was so healthy and so likely to live to see a long life and not many in the area; but at an unexpected hour a summons came to take her from here. The opinion of those who knew her best is that she changed this world for the "better country, and that is a heavenly one," despite the last warning she received. We hope that the many letters that our brother received from brothers in the ministry and others, expressing their sympathy with him in his bitter bereavement, will redress his distressed mind, and that of his adopted son.

        W. Thomas.
