Dear FamilyTreeCircle Members, this family is my mother-in-law's ancestry... She states that she had eight direct line ancestors all named Stephen HUGHES in her family ... this would make the years roughly going back to the year 1720 or earlier.

MEMORIAL INDSCRIPTION: "In loving memory of Stephen Hughes, passed away peacefully on 7th July 1941, aged 77 years. Sleep, beloved, sleep.

There is no death, an angel form
Glides o'er the earth with silent tread,
And bears our best loved ones away,
And then we call them dead.

For him no bitter tears are shed,
His night of pain is o'er;
But weep our lonely path to tread,
And see the form we loved no more."
