词条 | John Owen Williams (Pedrog) |
释义 |
Pedrog was born in May 1853 in Madryn, near Pwllheli, the youngest son of Owen and Martha Williams, both of whom were in service locally. He had a tragic childhood. At the age of two he was sent to stay with his father’s sister Jane Owen, in Llanbedrog, when his elder brother contracted smallpox. A few years later his mother died in childbirth. His father then decided to go to sea as a ship’s steward but his first voyage seemingly ended in a Melbourne hospital where he died. Pedrog’s memories of both his parents were few and hazy. {{S-start}}{{Succession box| title = Archdruid of the National Eisteddfod of Wales | years = 1928–1932 | before = Howell Elvet Lewis | after = John Jenkins (Gwili) }}{{S-end}} References1. ^Dictionary of Welsh Biography WILLIAMS , JOHN OWEN ( Pedrog ; 1853 - 1932 ) {{DEFAULTSORT:Williams, John Owen}} 5 : 1853 births|1932 deaths|Chaired bards|Welsh Eisteddfod archdruids|Welsh-language poets |
