"GWALCH EBRILL DEAD
"Such was the sad intelligence conveyed to W.L. Myles of Kingston
yesterday afternoon, Daniel James, better known by his countrymen as
Gwalch Ebrill, was a poet of no mean pretension, yet he was one of the
most unassuming characters among the bards of the eisteddfod. His
genial open countenance was always greeted with a hearty welcome. He
was a native of Carmarthenshire, South Wales, emigrated to the United
States twenty years ago, resided at Drifton, Hazleton, Mahanoy City, and
finally settled at Lansford, Carbon County, where he breathed his last
on Thursday, and will be buried from his late home on Monday afternoon,
March 12. Mr. James leaves a wife, and one son and one daughter."
