Thursday, May 8, 1856, aboard the Thornton, Willie Company Journal.
"This morning sea sickness remained, though gradually recovering. At 10:00am the bell tolled, a signal that the hour had arrived when we were to consign the remains of our beloved Sister Curtis to the sea to await the resurrection of the just. Great solemnity prevailed among all present. President Willie offered up a prayer to the Almighty. She was buried in the mighty deep."
