President [Lorenzo] Snow received a call from ... the Davis [Utah] Stake Presidency, in relation to a letter which had been written by them respecting a serious difficulty existing between the people of Kaysville and those of Layton on questions of politics, and which if not settled in some other way, threatened to find its way into the courts. .... President Snow authorized a letter to be written to these Apostles, requesting them to attend to the matter.
A letter was read from ... the St. George Temple, conveying the information that a young married man ... while in an unsound state of mind had committed suicide in California, where he resided. The grandmother desired to know if Temple work might be done for him. President Snow decided that in this and in all like cases, where persons committed suicide in an unsound state of mind, Temple work might be done for them.
