The Funeral of Vilate Kimball Oct 24 1867

and we feel themir influence. We allso have all the devils that
fall from Heaven & wicked men to contend with but whare,
those spirits have power on a person they Effect the body
but does it take any Glory from Vilate because of her affliction
No not in the least she will have a greater reward. She has
not Been afflicted because of sins. But Because the devil
has power on her body & some in this city who cherish Evil
spirits & Devils they try to destroy the ignorant Vilate will
come forth with her body & will stand at the Head of this
Family & Heber at her head as he has here & this will be
the case with all who are good. Now we should prepare
ourselves to go as well as Vilate has. let us be faithful
till we hear the Trump sound. I Expect Joseph Smith
will be the first man resurrected then He will resurr[ec]t
his family Just when he pleases & if we live so as to come
forth in the first resurrection we shall rejoice to all Eternity
President Joseph Young spoke a few moments It was a solem
time At the close of the funeral the Body was removed to the
Family Grave of Brother Kimball
