"The sad news received by telegram yesterday, of the death of Morgan
Evans, (Meurig Aman) of pneumonia, at Lansford, Pa., the well known
poet, will be received with regret by his friends in Wyoming and
Lackawanna valleys. 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."
