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
... 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.
This was a serous day. Word Came to me this morning of the Death of my wife Phebe. ...
The Lord has born me up in this Affliction in a wonderful Manner. I pray God to still sustain me. ...
