Day in the Life
Journal Entry
March 03, 1879 ~ Monday
March 3rd I went down to the Temple
and spent the day writing in my Journal
and transacting Business
This Day composed for the Anniversary of
Hon Wilford Woodruffs Birth day
By Emily B. Spencer
The Myriads of Dead they often come
A mighty multitude in thought to me
They come from heaven Their lot to try on Earth
They come a brief time past, they died and left
Naught but a record that they had been here
Some Names are mighty, in a worldly sense
And stand forth blazoned by the trump of Fame
While some are noted for the good they did
Their honest upright Philanthropic lives
