 When one died on those plains, they could not in a nice meeting house hold services devoted to such an event. This would be held with the firmament as the tabernacle, mostly in the shades of evening. They would be rolled up in a blanket or quilt, where the loved ones would stand and see the dirt put on them, weeping off until the train started next morning, when they would bid farewell to father, mother, brother or sister that lay under the little mound.
