1905 (Thursday) – My husband (Alfred Oscar Lunt) came home from Sanpete, had dinner with us and then took the train for up North. I went to Relief meeting, after the opening exercises, Sister Cazier (Sarah Ann Cazier) spoke to us for a few minutes, she said it was not often you would find a case like Sister Wheeler’s (Harriet Wheeler). One meeting day she was present in apparently good health and there she bore a faithful testimony that she knew Joseph F. Smith (Joseph Fielding Smith) was a Prophet and the right man in the right place, also thanking her Heavenly Father for the privilege of coming to this earth to live. She also testified to the divinity of the work of Joseph Smith, the Prophet. And the next meeting day, when her testimony was read in the minutes, she was dead and buried. The meeting adjourned and we went down to the Tabernacle to listen to a lecture by John T. Miller. While I was gone, Baby (Eva Ruth Lunt) cried most all the time. In the evening, Father (Charles Henry Sperry) called for me and I took the baby to a concert in the Tabernacle, given by the Provo Orchestra, it was fine.
