Bronson Alcott writes in his journal:
All day is beautiful for the final rites. 3 P.M. Dr. Huntington comes. He reads, at my wife’s urgent request, the King’s Chapel Burial Service, and prays afterwards. Our friends Mr. and Mrs. Emerson and Ellen, Henry Thoreau, Sanborn [Franklin B. Sanborn], John Pratt, his sister and mother, and others. We deposit her remains in the receiving tomb till we select our family lot in the cemetery. First carriage, Mr Alcott, Mr. Emerson, Mr. Thoreau, Mr. Sanborn. Second carriage, John Pratt, Dr. Bartlett [Charles Bartlett].
(The Journals of Bronson Alcott, 307)
Louisa May Alcott writes in her journal:
On Monday Dr. Huntington read the Chapel service, and we sang her favorite hymn. Mr. Emerson, Henry Thoreau, Sanborn, and John Pratt, carried her out of the old home to the new one at Sleepy Hollow chosen by herself.
