bury him at 2 o'clock.

We met according to advise at 2 oclock at the
house of our departed brother and President Heber C. Kimball took
charge of the ceremony. President Brigham Young was not
able to be present with us.

George A Smith made the prayer. He
prayed earnestly thatfor President Brigham Young Heber C. Kimball
and the person who should be chosen as Willard Richard's successor
also for the Twelve Apostles that they might prove true to their
integrity as brother Richards had done even unto the end. He
prayed for the wives and children of our lamented friend and brother
and that the Spirit of Willard might rest upon his oldest son
Heber John that he might stand at the head of his father's
house in dignity and honour. Elder Watt reported his prayer in
detail

At the close of the prayer the procession was formed.
Brother Kimball and Bishop Hunter walked in front of the corse
and the Twelve Apostles walked by the side of it while his wives
children relatives and friends followed and a procession formed
behind them and as he was borne to his grave two bands played
a solemn death march.

After our brother was lowered into his grave
Orson Hyde delivered a short appropriate address and while his
remarks were being made the times which I had spent with
brother Richards in a foreign country came to my mind and
I felt solemn and lonesome under the reflection

After the burial I called upon the
family and conversed with them and then attended prayer
meeting with the Twleve; and with Brother Kimball and
Franklin Richards returned to Willard Richards family
and spent the evening with them and brother Kimball conversed
with them till 9 o'clock and gave them much counsel. He
