December 02, 1856 ~ Tuesday

2nd I left Brother Grants family a short time in the morning called upon Capt Hooper
found him quite sick. I administered unto him then I went to my house got
a piece of fine linen & Mrs Woodruff accompanied me to Brother Grants
I gave them the linen to make a garment & robes to lay out the body in. I
went to Presidents Youngs to get Zina Young to go down & help make the
robes she gave me a seat. President Young came in & spoke of Brother
Grants Death said we had done all we could to save his life but the
powers the other side of the veil were stronger than we were & he was wanted
there. Sister Zina Young walked with me to President Grants & spent
the day with the sisters in makeing the robes. I felt sick & went home & went
to bed & was sick through the day. Leo Hawkins started for Filmore today

administered to the sick
