From New York City LDS History
- A Utah native died in NYC in 1919; her husband was in the hospital and couldn't take the body home for burial. There was such a shortage of missionaries that nobody could be released to escort the casket on the train. If you're the mission president responsible, who can you call? Walter P. Monson gave that assignment to his 16-year-old son, Lafayette, who did just fine. Not sure why that pleases me so much, but it does. on Facebook
Later followup comment to same post:
- the husband was Parley Absolom Young; the wife was Eva Bailey Young. They were from Ephraim, in Sanpete County. Mark, I don't know the cause of death.
