Susan Bielby and her daughters
They will never know how deep the
sorrow left to us.
Harry, Edith and Ernest
Bielby, to express their grief at the loss of their mother
and sisters, wrote the line above.
In the Second World War enemy bombs rained down on
civilians, and on 12th December 1940, during the Sheffield
Blitz, the Bielby family home was hit. Susan, aged 84, and
her daughters, Emily, Millicent and Annie were all killed.
Emily and Millicent were headmistresses at two local
infant schools and Annie was a costumier.
Their grave is still tended.
