[Wilford Woodruff]
I went to my house got a piece of fine linen & Mrs Woodruff accompanied me to Brother Grants. I gave them the linen to make a garment & Robes to lay out the body [of Jedediah Grant] in. I went to President Youngs to get Zina Young to go down & help make the Robes. She gave me a seat. President Young came in & spoke of Brother Grants Death. Said we had done all we could to save his life but the powers [of] the other side of the veil were stronger than we were & he was wanted there.
Sister Zina Young walked with me to President Grants & spent the day with the sisters in makeing the robes.
