conscience for all in my house.' So Emily became a member of the Calvinistic Methodist church at Waen, Bodfari. She would often refer with gratitude to her father's action as having brought her great relief in a trying time. In after years, during her stay at Bala, Dr. Lewis Edwards administered to her the Sacrament at Mr. Evan Jones's house—Emily at that time having become unable to attend the chapel service.
Before health failed her, Emily had become a ' burning and a shining light ' in the home, and her influence over the younger members of the family was very great. Her strong conscientious scruples and firm adherence to principle reflected on all of them, and the married ones have perpetuated the name of Emily, in affectionate remembrance of their sainted sister. Her influence in church and Sabbath School was also great. So we picture her in our memories as surrounded by a halo which even the idiosyncrasies of invalidism could not efface. For twelve years she was a sufferer from spinal trouble—'Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth.' "
Emily was buried in the family vault at Llanefydd, Denbighshire, with another brother and sister. Risiart Ddu composed the following epitaph for her, and recommended the first englyn to be engraved on her tombstone—
I'm cystudd blin meddyginiaeth—luddiwyd,
Do! am flwyddi helaeth;
Er hyny cefais driniaeth
Llyw y nef, a'm gwella wnaeth.
O! Emily fwyn, aml fu—dy boenau
Di beunydd nes trengu;
Gwenaist wrth fyn'd dan ganu
Yn fywiog iach drwy'r nef gu.
