Day in the Life
Journal Entry
May 29, 1849 ~ Tuesday
W. I Appleby
Died of
cholera*
29th
I recieved one letter from W W. Wade one from Elder
Gibson And the Frontier Guardian I wrote 5 letters
to O. Hyde to J. Gibson Little & Hardy W W Wade &
Sarah B Foss I recieved the painful intelligence
By Br Gibsons letter that Elder Wm. I. Appleby
Died of the cholera on board of the steemer while on his
way from St Louis to the bluffs with many of the company
with ^him^ the cholera is laying waste the inhabitants of the
Earth in the western states esspecially on the rivers & our
brethren are in the midst of it & several of them are falling
by it. Elder Appleby has been A faithful labourer in the
vineyard & has left A strong testimony to the world I
little thought the last time I saw him that He would
leave us so soon How many of the Saints are falling or
have died by the cholera I know not But I have
felt much depressed in spirit for A week past And
have felt the forebodings of trying News. My pra-
yer to God is that He will spare his Saints from that
pestilence which is now walking in darkness & wasteth
at Noon day. I expect this season will be a trying time
to the inhabitants of the Earth And time must deter
*mine whose life will be preserved. ^*June 13 I recieved
word saying that Elder Appleby is not dead but is well & gone to the Bluffs^
