to 12 o'clock when President Brigham Young arose to speak. As it was
so late he did not speak but a short time and said he did not answer his
mind but his remarks were very interesting and instructive. At the
close of the meeting the procession was formed and the corps conveyed
to the grave followed by the largest procession ever formed on such
an occasion in the valley. At the grave President Young made
some remarks. He said

We have no cause to mourn for brother Grant
and you have made a far greater display here than was necessary
far more so than brother Grant would have wished and far greater
display than I wish you to make over my body when I die

Brother Grant is well off and he has lived more
in advancement and far riper for eternity in 40 years than many
would in a hundred.

When I die I only want you to let my body rest
in the grave. I want to be buried decently but I do
not wish any great display at my funeral. Let your flags
lie still and all your military display. I hope the body
of brother Grant may lie here undisturbed till the resurrection
I see the warm feelings of the people for brother Grant. It is
cold let the people go home and let the bearers stay and
see the grave filled up properly

The procession then returned to the house of our
departed brother and during the evening I called upon brother
Grants family.

On the 6th I attended meeting of the Bishop
and council and Priesthood of the Fourteenth Ward at 2 o'clock.
F. D. Richards was present. I sat and heard the report
of the brethren and when I was requested to speak by ^the^ Bishop
I arose and said that as the Bishop and missionaries had
appointed men as Teachers to the Gentile stores to preach
the Gospel to them but the Spirit said to me that it was not
