Back in prohibition, bootleg was run through this area on its way up to Chicago. This included running through the Amish areas. One time, when a shipment came up short, as could happen from time to time, this area refused to cooperate in determining what has happened to the missing bottles. Although no one with any clout had any idea what had happened to them or any clue as to how to begin to find out, those bottles continued to surface on dinner tables for about, well, you might still see one from time to time.
Aparently what had happened was that the KKK decided to tax the bootleg rout, beyond the payoff they had already negotiated for safe passage through the area. When confronted about this, they said it was the Amish and they werent the same as the KKK. However the take was split, and those bottles showed up both on tables of the Amish connected and the KKK connected.
By the time it became so obvious what had happened that everyone knew about it and was talking about it and people mentioned it in books and newspapers, the Mob wanted to know why they didnt get was was theirs. And everyone said we arent the same people who stole from you. And the Mob told them if you are not the same people then you dont do this behavior and that behavior that were the halmark of the people who ripped us off. And people said of cource we dont do that, that must be kids, who knows what they do, which is exactly what they had been told when the bottles went missing before.
