THE COMING-OF-AGE
OF MR. JOHN LOMAX.
GREAT REJOICINGS AT LLANFYLLIN It was quite in the natural order of things that the entrance upon manhood of the eldest son and heir of a much-beloved and popular country squire should be celebrated with popular rejoicings, and the high esteem in which Mrs Lomax of Bodfach, and her late husband, Mr. T. O. Lomax, are held, was abundantly testified by the general character of the rejoicings which took place at Bodfach and Llanfyllin on Thursday to commemorate the attainment of his majority by their eldest son, Mr. John Lomax. For some time past a far-reaching and active committee has been engaged in making due provision for the celebration of the event, and in every respect their efforts were most completely satisfactory. They did not, however, take the meteorological authorities into their confidence, and early-risers on Thursday - and all who proposed to take any part in the demonstrations were of necessity early astir - discovered to their horror that the weather, by reason of the deep snow which covered the face of the earth, was such as might have been appropriate in mid-winter. But depressing as the state of the elements was it had no material effect upon the good spirits of those who were pre-determined to give due éclat to the proceedings of the day, and not an item in the long programme, which was evidently drawn up in fair weather, was foregone. As the morning advanced the snow was replaced by rain, at mid-day the hills were covered with a delicate veil of gossamer, but as the afternoon advanced all traces of the snow disappeared, and the rain came only at intervals and with decreasing energy. Daeth yn ffigur amlwg yn lleol, gan gymryd rhan mewn nifer o faterion lleol. Ei arwyddair oedd "Service before self". Câi ei gydnabod fel tirfeddiannwr cyfiawn. Roedd ef a'i chwaer yn ymwneud â chynnal ysgol leol a sioe Llanfyllin.
Roeddynt yn hoff iawn o'r ddramâu a phasiantau, ac mae nifer o enghreifftiau o'r digwyddiadau hyn yn lluniau'r teulu.
Ni briododd yr un o'r plant. Bu'r ddau'n byw gyda'u mam tan iddi farw, ac wedi i John farw yn 1936, etifeddodd Anne y ty, a bu'n byw yno tan ei marwolaeth yn 1944. Mae cyfrifiad 1891 yn dangos mai ychydig
oedd yn y cartref, gyda Mrs Lomax oddi cartref ar ddiwrnod y cyfrifiad.
