Evan Davies (1842-1919) was a Welsh Calvinistic Methodist minister, and writer. He was born in Aberangell, Merionethshire. As a boy (of the age of 10) he entered employment as a farm worker, later (at 17) becoming a quarryman. He was however keen to further his education (he had always had a keen interest in history and literature), and after beginning preaching in 1865, in 1868 he moved to study at Bala College, following which, in 1873, he was ordained minister of Llangynog. He later (in 1875) moved for a period to a post at Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog, followed by a move (in 1879) to Trefriw, where he remained till his death.
