Though the acquisition stories of how the buffet came from the Beehive House and into my family differ from each other and, no doubt, from the actual event, each illustrates the connection of my family to an important historical figure and prophet of my ancestors’ religion, Brigham Young. My version of the story incorporates a number of powerful themes from my family’s history into a neatly packaged narration to complement the buffet. These kernels of information include an immediate relationship with Brigham Young, polygamy, successful early business ventures in Utah, and an influential position of status within the growing community.
