Have a look at this , bits taken from one website -:
Siân Owen's epitaph, which reads: "I am greatly troubled. Enliven me, O
Lord, according to your Word."
Tradition has it that the epitaph is the result of her being scorned
following the painting's publication but Mr Evans said this might not be the
case. "I understand she lost members of her family in the First World War
and I think the epitaph may be a reference to that,"
Siân Owen, 1837 - 1927 was born at Maesygarnedd, and moved later to
Llanfair, where she died aged 90
