b.                  Washington D.C

Yesterday’s answer:

(C)   Respect

The inhabitants of Nauvoo at the time seem also to have held Emma and the RLDS Church of which she was a part in high regard. Emma’s death was of such significance within the town that it motivated a second printing of the local paper on May 2, 1879, to correct the omission of a death notice in the first. Almost a century later, locals still shared details of the funeral: “Every statement ever made by anyone who attended that funeral mentions people present weeping that this good woman was no more. Most of these mourners were not Latter Day Saints.”
