At 6 oclock I called to see my wife Phebe who was vary low I laid my hands upon
her head & Blessed her And anointed her for her burial
and at 2 oclok she died. Thus we part after living together
48 years & 6 months in the Marriage Covenant
Sleep on my Dear Phebe, But Ere long from this
The conqured Tomb shall yield its captive Prey,
Then with thy Husband, children, friends, & Prophets & Apostles
Thou shalt Reign in Bliss,
As wife, Queen, Mother, and Saint to an Eternal Day Wilford Woodruff
The Parents of Phebe W Woodruff were Ezra and Sarah Fabyan Carter. Ezra Carter
was 96 years of age when he died, Sarah F Carter
was about 70 when she died Both were baptized
Thus My wife Phebe Ends Her Earthly Mission
She has gone to meet her Fathers, Mothers, Children
Prophets, Apostles, Saints & Friends in the spirit world
