Last April in Y Cenhadwr there was a notice of the death of EVAN
HOWELL. He was born in 1801 in a place called Penlan, Llangiwc Parish,
Glamorganshire, South Wales. He was the son of John and Mary
Howell, Pwllfa Watkin, Llangefelach, Glamorganshire, South Wales.
He married Jane Howell, the daughter of Howell and Mary Howell,
Gelli-lwca, her [Jane’s] death was noted in Y Cenhadwr about two years
ago. He was received into church membership, as on of thirty, at Baran
under the ministry of the Rev. Roger Howells in 1829.

36. He and his wife immigrated to America from Ty’r Cwm, near Gelli-lwca,
in 1832. They settled in Bradford where they stayed until the grave.
Their two children were born in Wales and are in comfortable
circumstances in Bradford. Evan Howell was one of the pillars of fire of
the religious cause here since landing here.
His brother Wm. Howell is still with us, the only one of six children.
