Wednesday, February 3

At the store till noon. Afterwards at the Council House with the

Quadrille Band to play for a family meeting of the Young family.

President Brigham Young was quite sick and seemed very low spirited.

After the meeting had been opened by prayer, the President called on

his brothers to stand up by him in the center of the room which they

did according to age. John Young took his place at the head, then

Phineas, Joseph, Brigham and Lorenzo. The President then called on

Heber to take his place in the line inasmuch as he had been recognized

about fifteen years as a member of the Young family. He took his place

between Joseph and Brigham. The President then said this was the first

time that father Young's boys had been together in the same capacity

for a number of years, etc. After a few remarks the remainder of the

evening was spent by partaking of a good supper and cheerful dancing

till about two in the morning, when the party broke up in the best of

spirits and good feeling.
