Trivia – Apparently Brigham would grant divorces relatively easily. But he would always charge the man $5.00 (vaguely equivalent to $2500 in 2007 dollars). One year he was so fed up with the number of folks who were seeking divorces that he declared from the pulpit that anyone who could hear him speak who wished to no longer be married, could consider themselves divorced [source: Michael Quinn speaking at the 1995 DC Sunstone Symposium].
