President Grant.

On our way down we met Dr Sprague who informed
me that President Jedediah Morgan Grant was dead. He died
December the 1st 1856 20 minutes past 10 oclock at night aged 40 years
9 months and 7 days.

Dr Sprague informed me that he had just breathed
his last. We immediately went into the house and found his
wives and children weeping bitterly. Jesse C. Little Leonard W.
Hardy Daniel H. Wells George Davisson Grant and Doctors Sprague
Dunyon and Israel Ivins were standing around his body. As
I gazed upon his tabernacle of clay without his spirit I felt to
exclaim a mighty man in Zion is laid low—a valient man
in Israel has fallen and a great champion of the Kingdom of God
is taken from ^us^ our midst.

We felt his loss deeply. For two months it
seemed as though he had been hurried to close up his work. He
had been preaching for several months calling upon the people
to repent. His voice has been like the trumph of the
angel of God. He had been laboring night and day
until he was laid prostrate with sickness. He had shot
the arrows of the Almighty with great power among the people
He called at the Historians Office on the 19th of November which
was the last day he was out. He was confined to his house
ten days before his death. He had a great vision while
he was sick which he told the brethren. He preached nearly
all the time and related all that he saw in the spirit world.

Soon after I entered the house on the night of his
death his wife Rosetta was seized with great trembling and
nervous excitement and it seemed as though her frame would shake
to pieces. We laid hands upon her and rebuked the devil
which seemed to seize her tabernacle and she became
more calm. I assisted Dr Dunyon in laying out
