The Funeral of Vilate M Kimball Oct 24 1867

Her many times to go & preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. I bid
her good By as much then as I have now. I did this in Zions Camp
also when I went to England & at different times. She has been
true to me always and never left Nor forsook me. I have taken
40 wives & many without her knowledge but she afterwards gave
them to me in the Temple. She has passed through many trials
but she has been always true to me. When Vilate was first taken
sick the spirits took the advantage of her. When I went to lay
hands upon her I saw a Devil in the room meeting me & I saw
it several times. I felt indignant by the spirit of God, there is
many fals spirits that are trying to destroy our children, and
will destroy all they can. We should strive to overcome them
She sympathized with me untill her last Breath. Br Brigham &
I have stood By Joseph unto the End, & he will never forsake
or forget us No never. No more than God will forget his ownly
Begotten Son. The foregoing is ownly a synopsis of his remarks
Farewell all Earthly honors was then sung & J Taylor Dismissed
The Following is a synopsis of remarks of President Brigham Young
at the commencement of the Funeral of Vilate Kimball He was the first
speaker. He said when I buried my first wife I do not think
there was a tear shed, and it is a great victory gained to overcome
the death & the grave & have a glorious resurrection. The good often
suffer as well as the wicked we suffer in the Flesh but when we
die & the spirit leaves the Body The Devil & Evil has No more
power over us When the spirits of the righteous enter the spirit world
they are Beyond the power of the Devil. The knowledge, which the
Latter Day Saints have obtained, have put us in possession of power
which the world has not. We live not for this world alone but
for the resurrection. There is ^are^ man^y^ in this room who have done
the Best they could. They would not wish to try it over again
where does Vilate go when this Body is laid off She is in the
presence of God not whare his Tabernacle is but have his presence
in spirit & we can see all things that we wish or desire to see
we are as much in the presence of God in this city as though we
were with him in person I do not know whether Vilate is
with us in this room or not but we have good spirits with us
