Nov 10^th 1885
This was a serous day word came to me this mor-
ning of the Death of my wife Phebe it was a trying
time to her children I telegraphed to Phebe & Sarah
I wrote ^5^ Letters to Susan, Leslie Shuah C Moulton
Ezra Scammans Ilus F Carter. The Loard ^Lord^ has
born me up in this Affliction in a wonderful
Manner. I pray God to still sustain me many of
the family called upon ^me^ & I had much writing & Business
to attend to. I spent the night in the office

November 11, 1885 ~ Wednesday

11 I spent the day in the office I saw a Number of
my family I wrote Letters to

November 12, 1885 ~ Thursday

12 The funeral of my wife Phebe was attended to day
at the 14 ward school House I saw the procession as it
Past the office I saw the hearse that carried my wife
Phebe Whitemore Carter Woodruff to the grave I was not
permitted to attend her funeral without being ariested
for my religin, & imprisioned for cohabitation with
my wives as many others are. she was followed to the
grave with 35 carriages. I am passing through
a strange chapter in the history of my life
persecution is raging against the Latter Day Saints
I am perfectly willing for my wife to lie down
& go to sleep & be freed from any for this persecution
from the wicked. I hope I may prove true & faithful
unto the End that I may meet with her & our friends
in the Celestial kingdom of God, and have part in
the first Resurrection with the righteuse Prophets
& Apostles and dwell with them in peace forever
