Prompt:
Joseph was outside standing next to his car in the rain with a cigar in his mouth

What came out:

Joseph was outside standing next to his car in the rain with a cigar in his mouth  as he observed other men posing with the Mystery Bugle  and the Two Minute Paper  at that time, he is believed to have been struck by lightning and killed.
After receiving the news of Joseph's death, Joseph's widow had asked for a burial without the body being returned to her until after Joseph was buried, which was not permitted.
Then Brigham Young, later a apostle, wrote to Joseph, telling him that he wanted the body removed to Salt Lake City.
After they had been removed to Salt Lake City, there were conflicting reports on whether or not the body was buried. When Brigham Young was shown the body, he did not say what to do with it, but reportedly told his people that it would be better to bury it than to burn it. At the funeral, relatives reportedly wished to give the body to Brigham Young's grandson, thus making it an illegal attempt to separate that grandson from the family line and establish a polygamous marriage between Brigham Young's daughter and Brigham's son. After several attempts at negotiations to explain the situation, Brigham Young ordered the body to be buried in Cedar City. The family argued that this was the only proper and consistent method, as if Brigham Young did not have enough control over the death,but the President and his counselors turned the child over to polygamy in 1879, and if Joseph could not keep up the family practice, the law changed in 1890 (see divorce in Utah in 1847-48). After all, plural marriage was not a "reasonable" alternative (see 1886 COS ), and Polygamy that brought in "many children" had been accepted by the Latter-day Saints since 1843. As a history of Utah has noted, "because the [Latter-day] Saints have always accepted and practiced polygamy, this extreme approach cannot be justified in any other way." The controlling interest of the Church did notwant polygamy—and so it practiced it.

Since it saw this practice as a grave doctrinal issue, and thus needed a full-throated defense, the Church has made a strong effort to explain the facts. This was achieved through a plural marriage ceremony called the "sealing," that would be limited to a small number of people who had already been instructed of their eternal purpose and responsibilities. They would then be granted a "second anointing," a personal sealing ceremony, of which only themselves and their wives were a part.
