Yesterday’s answer:
a.
The coffin
Interestingly, Snowflake had had the
custom for several years to have the funeral at the meetinghouse but to leave
the coffin at the home. Three months before Prudence’s death when Apostle
Francis Marion Lyman visited Snowflake, Lucy “asked him if it was right for our
dead to be left at home while the friends went to the meeting house. . . . He
seemed very much out of patiance. . . . He said no, take them to the meeting
house every time.” As a result, Prudence’s body was in the chapel for the
funeral. Lucy continued, “everything passed off so nice the singing was grand
and the surmonds was very good and full of comfort very meny good things was
said of Prudence.”
