Mormon History, Jul 9, 1845. Wednesday.

[William Clayton Journal] ...Sister Richards died this morning at about 1/4 after 10. She has suffered much for a long time back. We have held her by faith alone, but she is gone to rest.
At 2 P.M. went with the Band to the dinner given by the Trustees for the Smith's family at the Mansion. Near all the connexions of Brother Wm. either by birth or marriage were present, besides a number of Wins particular friends. The evening was spent cheerfully although the spirit of Wm. and his associates was very different from the spirit of the Twelve. The company broke up about 8 o'clock.
