Chapter 21

Hector's Funeral, and Beginning towards Marriage

Two days later after Sylvia's father had passed away the young Webb woman had to make preparations to lay her father to rest. Hector would be buried next to her mother Sarah Webb at the Walnut Grove cemetery. It would be fitting for her father to join her mother there. Sylvia hardly knew her mother as her father told her she had died from Scarlet fever. Sylvia was missing her father already as she was scared of being alone now.

However, her beau Albert has been with her every step of the way. The other day when Sylvia decided to return home. Albert didn't want to leave her alone. He told his folks that he would stay with her for the night. Albert cooked a good meal for her. As they ate they talked.

After eating their meal there was a knock on the door. Sylvia went to answer it.

She opens the door it was her attorney Adam Kendall.

"Hello Mr. Kendall" Sylvia says

"Hello Sylvia, Albert. Albert your Pa told me you both would be here when I stopped by your place. Sylvia here is what your father wanted me to give you both. It's his will."

Adam gives a yellow envelope to Sylvia, and then all three sit at the table. Sylvia opens the envelope then reads it aloud.

THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF HECTOR WEBB

"This is my will and testament to be read by my only daughter Sylvia May Webb….I Hector Webb in the event of my death therefore bequeath all my savings , capital and worldly goods to her to do with what she sees fit. Also my homestead and farm I leave to her. This will go into effect immediate after my death. She will also receive a lump sum of $100.00 out of my savings each month that I had set up when we first moved to Walnut Grove that she did not know about in the case of my death happening.

This Reading must be witnessed by her beau Albert Quinn Ingalls as well as her Attorney."

There was also a another letter after the will.

July 9th 1882

To my daughter Sylvia.

I love you. I want you and Albert to be happy. You were the best daughter I could ever have. I'm sorry for being hard to you through the years. Now I hope this will make up for the things I did. You and Albert have a chance for a future. Please take it.

My Daughter, I love you.

Hector.

As she read the note from her Pa tears came streaming down her face. Sylvia tightly clutches it.

"Pa, I promise, Albert and I will be happy! I love and miss you Pa." she vows

Albert gets out of his chair comes around and holds her shoulders.

"It'll get better honey; the least we can do is honoring his wishes."

The next day the funeral service was held. The entire community had attended. The Ingalls, the Wilders, The Olesons, The Daltons, Jonathan Garvey and his son Andy, Isaiah Edwards and his family, Joe Kagan, Hester Sue, Adam Kendall and Mary Kendall, Rachel Brown and her father and many others.

Even Judge Parker who delayed his departure attended.

Everyone was around the newly dug grave as Reverend Alden gave the service.

"Dear heavenly father, we commend this son Hector Webb into thy hands. And we ask thy blessing for his daughter."

Sylvia stands near the Reverend; she is wearing her Sunday dress holding a bouquet of yellow roses. Tears going down her cheeks. Albert besides her holding her

"Hector Webb was a good man, a proud man, loved by many of us, very protective of his daughter. He gave his life to keep an evil man from hurting her again. Please give him your love and your warm embrace. This farmer, formal soldier, father has come home to you…..Amen."

"Amen" all said in unison

Sylvia steps forward and places the flowers on the grave marker that said

Hector Webb

Beloved Father and Husband

b. 1818 d. 1881

Rest in Peace

Sylvia rises back up and backs up, back to Albert who again takes hold of her.

Soon the service is over. Many go up to Sylvia giving their condolences as some of the children, Grace, Carrie, Alicia, Carl, Andy leave flowers on Hectors grave.

Some of the residents are talking about as they go to one side of the area.

"I think we all should try to help Sylvia and Albert to get married." Charles says

"I agree Charles, We the town should give them all the support they need. Especially Sylvia." Isaiah says.

"Charles, Harriet and I talked ourselves since she felt badly about all of this that happened. We want to donate the wedding rings to them." Nels said

"That's great Nels…I'm sure Laura, Caroline, Grace can make Sylvia a wedding dress. Charles replies.

"Charles, I have an idea myself. When Sylvia and Albert go on their honeymoon. We can fix up her place for them when they return. We have extra wood at the mill." Jonathan suddenly said.

"That's a good idea Jonathan!" Charles exclaims. Charles looks at the distance as he sees Albert and Sylvia talking to Reverend Alden. He sees Sylvia hugging the pastor

"We are going to help you both to be happy, my future daughter-in-law. We ALL will!" Charles silently vows. "Just love my son Sylvia."

After the funeral Sylvia was slowly coping with the loss of her father. In the few days that followed Albert stayed with her at her newly inherited homestead and farm to be sure she was alright. At night Albert slept on Sylvia's rocking chair like a guard while she slept in her room in case she had any nightmares. Gratefully she didn't. But soon after Sylvia realized he needed to be home himself. She told him she would be alright and he went home after kissing her. Before leaving he told her that he wanted to take her out for a picnic and asked her to pack a lunch. She said she would and he left for home.

The next day. Albert came down from the loft. He was in his Sunday suit.

"Pa…Can I use the buckboard?"

"Sure Albert. Where you going?" Charles replies

Albert: "Pa and Ma, I want to take Sylvia on a picnic to help her get over the trial and what happened to Hector. Ma and Pa I'm going to ask her to marry me!"

"Oh Albert that's wonderful! I'm so happy for you both!" Caroline gets out of her chair to hug her son."

"Congratulations Son!" Charles goes up and hugs his son.

"Wait Albert…I want to give you something Caroline says then she goes to Charles and her bedroom"

Albert wonders what she wants to give him.

Returning with a some little box, Caroline opens the box and pulls out a ring.

"If you going to pop the question to your fiancée you need a ring. Charles gave me this when he proposed to me. I want you to give this to Sylvia when you propose to her."

Albert looks at the Ring it was beautiful. "Thank you Ma."

Albert then turns to go out the door. Pa calls to him "Good luck son!"

"Thanks Pa." Albert leaves.

Soon Albert picks up Sylvia at her home. She had packed a lunch for their picnic. Plus she was wearing her light blue dress with her purple tie with purple bows on the cuffs and her white bonnet. After Albert had packed it along with a long red blanket and a big bag in the buckboard they set out.

"Where are we going my love?" Sylvia asks

"You'll see my love." Albert smiles

After a while and traveling in the woods. The couple arrives at their destination.

"Here we are." Albert says

Sylvia looks and sees the very tree that months ago, Albert had carved their names on as they walked home from school one day.

ALBERT LOVES SYLVIA

Sylvia smiles "Oh Albert!"

'It was only fitting that we have our picnic here." He happily says

Soon after setting up their blanket under their special tree and their Picnic basket the couple talks at bit. Sylvia at best seems to be better getting over her father's loss.

After eating a good lunch and talking a bit a while later.

Then finally Albert decided it was now the time to ask her to marry him. He takes the bag he had placed next to the tree. He pulls out a batch of yellow sunflowers which was Sylvia's favorite. He gives them to her.

"Oh Albert they are beautiful!" she says

"Look at one of the stems" he says

Sylvia looks at the stems, she sees on one of them there is a ring!

"Albert you mean?" looking at him with shock. Tears beginning to form at her eyes

"Sylvia, I love you," as Albert's own tears began to come down his eyes "I can't live without you, and I need you in my life. These past few months have been enduring, but we made it. I want you to be my wife….Sylvia Webb, will you marry me?"

"Yes Albert Yes! Albert Quinn Ingalls I'll marry you!"

Albert places the ring on her finger. It fitted perfectly

Under their tree they hug each other as they kissed in a long passionate time under their tree.

Then breaking their kiss briefly to softly speak to each other.

"Albert, I know it's before our wedding night, but please, put your hands on me my love." she softly says

Albert knew what she meant. He couldn't deny her anything and she was giving him permission to do so.

"Are you sure you want to do this my love." He says wanting to be certain of her request.

"Yes, willingly, Kiss me my love."

"I love you Sylvia Ingalls" calling her softly by her future name

"I love you too Albert Quinn Ingalls." She says softly.

They resume their kiss, both of them embracing each other Sylvia then slowly drop her flowers to the ground near the blanket.

Not long after their clothes join the flowers on the ground.

To be Continued.
