Mr. Evans was among the best known Cambro-Americans and Ivorites. He took great interests in the eisteddfods and was the winner of a number of prizes. He held the office of secretary of the grand lodge of Ivorites of the United States and he was vice president of the Welsh Congregational Association of Northeastern Pennsylvania. He was a leading light in church circles, and held the office of superintendent of Sunday Schools for many years. "He was born at Cwmaman, Carmarthenshire, South Wales." Nancy Cook Pasadena, MD, USA
