Woodrow and Gladys Lauramore,

At one time, bootlegging was a way of life to live in Baker County as there was not much going on to make a living.
I was employed to drive a delivery truck in those years and among the things I hauled was sugar and rye for folks that made moonshine. They had stops by the road, so I would stop and unload as many sacks of sugar and rye that was on their paid orders.

At one time I worked in logging in the woods and I knew where there were a lot of stills but I never messed with them and the bootleggers never messed with me.
If only people knowed what went into that mess, they probably would never drink so much of it. I saw opossums, coons, and rats that would fall in those barrels.
Also a lot of empty bleach jugs out there that they had added to the barrels.

They would also use the saw mill mule's fertilizer to add in to the sugar and rye. I never made, drank, hauled, or messed with any of the whiskey, but we had friends that did.

It was the only way of life they had. When we moved north of Macclenny in 1950 there was a real loud blast one day and it was so loud it shook the windows in our house.
Later, I heard it was an underground moonshine still that had been blown up by the revenuers. I hope I never hear or feel that again. I thought a bomb had been dropped.

We had a lot of friends that worked in that business, and they had to work hard and under a strain. They knew we didn't drink. I thank the Lord Woodrow found work so we could go to bed with a clean mind. Gladys Lauramore
