Mostly by woman while husbands were gone fighting in WW1 because they would get drunk and beat them and the other support was religion.

Back then not as easy to get out of a marriage or have any financial support.

My husband's father had a job bringing whiskey from next state over during it and almost got caught once.

Just like pot people are not going to stop things they like legal or not.

Also changed their names to Temperance during that time. My great grandmother represented herself as being named Temperence in the 1930 census. Her real name was Lyda Jane, and she lived with one of her sons by then. She died in 1936. This was in a very rural community in NC, that is still the middle of nowhere.
