Born 1 November 1844 at Y Ffatri, Pen-y-bont-fawr, Montgomeryshire. He worked in his father's factory for some time. Influenced by the Welsh religious revival of 1859 he started to preach. He was at Bala Independent College, 1865-8, ministering afterwards at Betws-y-coed and Salem (Capel Garmon), 1868-74, and at Amlwch, 1874-1922. He was considered a diligent pastor and a preacher with a kindly and homely style; he also worked hard for the foreign missions. He died 7 December 1922. His brothers, David Evans (1842 - 1914) and Owen Evans (1829 - 1920) are separately noticed.
