I spent a busy day at the Temple as usual.

This is a beautiful day and one long to be remembered, as our daughter Sarah and her husband [page break] and their children arrived from their mission to Europe where Hugh presided over the Swiss-German mission for nearly three years.

Mother and I took train to Ogden where we met the folks and with them returned to Salt Lake. Many of my folks and Hughs folks met the train and after spending some time visiting we took the folks to our home where they will make their staying place until they are prepared to go by themselves.

One thing which somewhat marred the joy of home coming is the fact that Hugh’s mother died in California last Sunday, her remains came to Salt Lake to-day and her burial takes place to-morrow. Hugh & Sarah and children arrived at 2:35 and the corpse in charge of Preston Cannon arrived at 5:30 P.M. We met the train and took Hugh & Sarah there and back home after going up to the Irvine home where the casket was taken.

Home.

I spent the forenoon in the temple and the afternoon with the Cannon family in the burial of Sister Sarah June Cannon. The services were held in the 18th ward chapel at 2: P.M. and I was one of two speakers. I occupied 25 min. Pres. C. M. Nibley was the other and occupied 15 min. Bp. Clawson added a few words. Afterward, Frank J Cannon her older child expressed great satisfaction at what [page break] I had said, as did a number of others of the Cannon family which naturally made me feel honored and well paid, in fact, greatly blessed for my efforts.

Later in the day Sister Richards Nerva & George & Clarence & Mamie and I went through the New Masonic Temple on South Temple St with a guide and many other people as it was opened for visitors this day.

I spent some time in the Temple and later in the day I went with my Son George, Mother, Hugh & Sarah to look at homes for sale. Both Hugh & Sarah readily decided that they want the Rhubin G. Miller Home on 7th East below 21st South if it can be arranged.
