Wallace faced the blizzard on Sunday, the 7th being called upon to care for the body. He made his way to West Tintic, a distance of 40 miles, through drifting snow, arriving sometime in the night more like a huge moving snowball than a human undertaker. He and the mare looked all alike - no man could tell where the undertaker began and the mare began. The deceased lady had been the wife of Porter Rockwell, famous in his time as a trailer of horse thieves, by whom she had two sons and three daughters. In later years she married Wheeler Baldwin, and came to Utah about five years ago (1892) from the state of Minnesota. making her home with one of her daughters in a placed called Grouse Creek in the Northwest corner of Utah.
