  OLD TIME STORIES: (Told to me by Andrew Amelung regarding his father Herman)
 Dad was a turkey hunter. Every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years we had a turkey - wild turkey. He had a Turkey dog which no one was allowed to touch. (Turkey dogs were serious business and not a pet.) The dog would lay right down beside him and never move while he was calling. If squirrels, foxes or anything came by, that dog wouldn't move. If anyone tried to sneak up on him, all he had to do was watch his dog. The direction the dog looked is the way he looked and no one could sneak up on him. He had a couple of Turkey dogs. One had a heart attack and died and one ran into a tree after a Turkey and killed himself.
  One time he went fishing with his brother, John, and he had his Turkey dog with him. There was a farm across the lake (Iron Mountain Lake) and the farmer had a bunch of tame turkeys. All of a sudden those turkeys were going in all directions over there. That dog had heard those turkeys and he went over there to check them out. One of the turkeys tried to fly across the lake, but he didn't make it and he fell out in the middle of the lake. It wasn't long before they saw that dog going out into the lake - he caught the turkey and brought it over where my dad and Uncle John were fishing. John was telling him, Herman, that's your dog over there, you better do something. But there wasn't anything he could do because it was on the other side of the lake. When that turkey flew out in the lake he got a big kick out of that though. He went over there and the old woman was really mad, so he paid her for the turkey but she still wasn't satisfied. So he got her another live turkey and gave it to her and she still wasn't happy. Her husband told him he'd done enough and just to forget it and don't pay any attention to her. He got a big kick out of that dog getting that turkey.
  Dad also use to trap Quail. He'd set Quail traps and trap them. He'd bring in a whole bunch of them sometimes. He'd turn some of them loose and bring the rest home. Sometimes he'd have over 40 birds.
  When Herman was a kid, he would set Turkey traps. You make a turkey trap by using green branches and tieing them together into a box. (You don't use dried branches because they are too brittle). Then you would dig a trench under one side of the box and put out your feed. The turkey would follow the food through the trench and come up in the box, but he wouldn't go back down the trench to get out, he'd always try to go out the top but couldn't because of the tied branches. That's when you come up and see him poking his head through the branches in the top. You just hit him on the head and you have a nice turkey dinner. (But this isn't legal anymore, so don't try it.)
  Dogs played a large part in hunting and Herman had a particular dog that was in big demand when he was a kid. It seems that when a weasle or mink would get into a chicken house, they would cut the chicken's throat and drink the blood but never eat the carcass. They could do quite a bit of damage. So when someone saw that they had a weasle or mink killing their chickens, they'd call Herman to bring over his dog. That dog could track that mink from the chicken house, on through the woods, until they found it and they'd kill it. It was not uncommon to track the mink up one of the hills and then right back down. One time he was called over to a woman's house and his dog tracked the mink all around the yard over the top of the chicken house, on around and then finally concluded that it was under the brand new floor the woman had put in her chicken house. So Herman had to tear up the floor while his brother, John, waited outside with the gun and shot the mink as it ran out.
  Trapping was quite common too, when he was working in the mines, he made a big box trap and was going to catch himself a fox. So he takes the trap down and sets it. The next day when he comes back to check it he is walking up to the box and keeps hearing, tap ... tap ... tap ...tap. He knew that he had something, but what? When he opened it, here is a big dog, wagging his tail, sitting in the trap. So he let the dog go, but he never did catch the fox.
  I have old photographs of the Amelung Saloon, while it was in operation. This house is still standing at 202 S. Bogy and Herman Amelung's daughter, Nelle White, resided there until her death. The Green Tree Brewery, from which he bought his supplies, was located at 906 Sidney Street in St. Louis, Missouri. You can see many signs with this Brewery's name inside and outside the saloon. When Prohibition began on January 16, 1920, he closed his saloon and went to work in the Iron mines working his way up to Foreman. The 1900 census also indicates that Herman worked in Mining before he had the saloon.
  Of course not everyone stopped selling liquor after Prohibition started. Their next door neighbor, Ma Plummer, sold Homebrew (Beer) and Moonshine (Whiskey). There was a fence between the two yards and when the "Fed's" would come raid her, they would carry everything out into the back yard and break it up. Sometimes they'd miss one and there would always be some men close by who would jump over the fence and get themselves a fifth of homebrew before the Feds brought out another batch to break up.
