Joe remarked that he wished it wasn't |

occupied the upper berth. The next
morning, after dressing, he remarked:

Won't you come along out here (Rock

a not of coffee, and that would be sutiici-

myself. While was engaged in dressing
the children, the conductor entered and

He was carried into the car and placed

relations in Omaha, and his brother
Willard started out to meet me. On the
train they telegraphed to Laramie for ac-
clmmodations for me and had an under
taker meet us at the train. 1t is hard to
write all this. He was embalmed at
Laramie, or else his friends would never
have seen him. The next day | left
Laramie for Omaha, and Joe's brother
Willard met us in Cheyenne. 1t was a
blessing, for he helped me with the chill

train for Onawa, Iowa, and the next
morning, Thursday, May 18th, at 10
O'Clock, we place Joe's body in the grave.
When I got on the train again at Lara

that left Ogden on the same train with
us, and asked him if he had seen my hus
