A couple of my first cousins went "through" my/our Grandmother to be able to join the DAR...lots of interesting folks way back in the papers they sent me.
On the farm during the depression my uncles made moonshine..but it effected me to the point I even had a knee jerk reaction to my own sweet DH when he wore a business suit to meetings, etc.
As a child, my cousins and I were told to look for bad men wondering over the hills..they wore 3 piece suits and hats and did horrid things to little girls. Should we see any, we were to go to our homes and turn the dogs loose and then tell our uncles.
I was well into my 20s (slow developing mind?) when it finally occurred to me that my uncles were of the bib overalls, flannel shirts, big heavy work boots and ragged old suit hats...and the only ones who were snappy dressers back there were the Government men, revenuers!!!
