David Samuel Owen (1887-1959). He was born in Llanrhydd. He went to University College Bangor, and then to Aberystwyth Theological College. He started preaching at Bethlehem Chapel in 1905, was ordained in 1913 and became a minister in Llanelli from 1913 to 1915 when he was asked to go down to London to oversee the Welsh Calvinist Methodist population at Jewin Chapel.  

The chapel was destroyed in a German bombing raid in the Second World War but subsequently rebuilt. He is said to have been a ‘powerful and popular preacher’, who remained in great demand in North Wales, and was also involved with the National Eisteddfod. He married Gracy Jones and they had five children. He is buried in Colwyn Bay. (See the Dictionary of Welsh Biography). No records of the children are available.
