The wagon train was passing through Wyoming when Lilly Jane died on August 25th. Her family reached Salt Lake City a month later.
The following is an excerpt from a poem written by her father:
"As I kissed away her parting breath
And thought of her dear name
I knew that she was blessed
Our dearest Lilly Jane
We buried her by the wayside
On Laramie's wild plain
And strewn her grave with flowers
Our darling Lilly Jane
And now if we prove faithful
And walk the narrow lane
In the resurrection morn
We shall have our Lilly Jane
So fare you well, dear Lilly
'Till we shall meet again
How great will be the joy
To have our Lilly Jane"
(*Note: Alternate sources have spelled her name "Lily Jane" and "Lillie Jane".)
