The Late Lady Florentia Hughes, of Kinmel. Several noted families have been plunged into mourning by the dearth of Lady Florentia Hughes, of Kinmel, wife of the Lord- L-i out enact of Flintshire. A daughter of the late Earl of Ravens worth, her ladyship was a great favourite of the late Queen Victoria, and one of her daughters, the Hon. Mary Hughes, became a Maid of Honour to Her Majesty, while another married first the late General Wynne and next the Hon. L. A. Brodriek, brother of Lord Midle- ton, the ex-War Secretary. A third daughter marri-ed Mr. St. John Charlton, of Cholmonde- ley, Cheshire, at whose residence her ladyship passed away in her eighty-second year. The golden wedding of Mr and I-ady Florentia Hughes a few years ago was the occasion for extensive rejoicing in North Wales, where the Kinmel family is almost worshipped. The Lord- Lieutenant of Flintshire is a descendant of one of the old Welsh Kings—Gruffydd ap Cynan, King of North Wales from 1079 to 1136. The descent is traced through the Hugheses, of Llew. erllyd, Dysertih, in the male line from Prince Cadwaladr, second son of King Gruffydd. THE FUNERAL.
