Barbi Jean June 19, 2026 at 1:18 pm on Once-Amish Iowa Man Faces Second Round of Charges Over Unlicensed Clinic — Authorities Say Patients Were Injured & Died, While He Earned $887,000Amish don’t take photos as they don’t believe in that etc , I’m guessing the perpetrator was just uncomfortable in front of camera during his booking as he used to be Amish.
K.D. June 17, 2026 at 3:39 pm on New York Man Charged With 10 Burglaries Of Amish HomesGood!! I hope Sikes gets locked up for a very long time. Stealing from the Amish is bad enough, but stealing from the dead is just plain horrible. Hope he enjoys his little stint in custody! Let this be a warning to others: Amish can and WILL get the local authorities involved.
Tammy Lonette June 17, 2026 at 9:21 am on Amish Woman, Seven Months Pregnant, Dies After Kick From HorseThe news incorrectly reported her name as “Beverly”, but it is in fact Barbara. She left behind 6 children. The youngest was just over a year old. They are being cared for by their father and his mistress that he was seeing all year before Barbara was killed. He left the Amish community a month and a half after Barbara’s death and move himself and the 6 children from their community in Lisbon, into the mistresses home in Canton that she shared with her own children. He and the mistress are now expecting a baby as she is about 7 months along from what I understand. The children go to public school now and live a typical English life. They all call the mistress “mommy”, so they seem to have moved on from the tragedy quickly and hopefully it won’t have too much of a lasting impact on them as they grow up. It’s terribly sad for Barbara and for the Amish community she lived and raised her children in. They suffered through her loss, then within weeks lost the entire remainder of her family, and the children had their lives turned upside down. My thoughts and prayers are with them all.

Juanita Ethridge June 15, 2026 at 11:11 am on The 10 States With The Most Amish CommunitiesMy husband and I have been married 55 years on June 19, 2026. We visited Ethridge once before in June, 2021 on our 50th anniversary. Our intent was to have a photograph taken in one of the buggies. The person in that souvenir shop didn’t return as promised the next day. Where would be a good place to have our photograph taken? We are intending to go back in perhaps next month. We both love visiting Ethridge and intending to visit the home places and purchasing some things and fruits and vegetables. This time we are planning to take along our daughter and grandson. Please send whatever information you can spare. Thanks so much.
Haley Straw June 15, 2026 at 3:23 am on Wisconsin Is America’s #4 Amish State — Here Are Its 10 Largest CommunitiesInteresting list. I've been to the first seven communities mentioned, though I haven't yet made it to Loyal, Fennimore, or Chaseburg. My very first trip to Wisconsin—actually my first trip to Wisconsin ever—was to Augusta. At the time I had no idea just how much time I'd end up spending in the Badger State. During the eight years I drove Amish taxi full-time, there was one year alone when I made the trip from Missouri to Wisconsin seventeen times. I got to know those roads pretty well!

Joline Wudtke June 13, 2026 at 5:28 pm on 10 Gorgeous Amish-Inspired Kitchen Ideas to Transform Your SpaceI just love those kitchens. I am down sizing and with only minimal left, I want open shelves too. My kitchen isn’t very big so I think the shelves will make it look larger!
Leon Moyer June 13, 2026 at 5:11 pm on 11-Year-Old Amish Boy Seriously Injured After Buggy Pulls Into Path Of Oncoming SUVYou say it's time to trade in the horse and buggy for the safety of the automobile? IT IS THE MOTOR VEHICLES THAT ARE DOING THE KILLING, not the horse and buggy! It's time to trade your motor vehicle in for roller skates or a bicycle or a skateboard or just walk!! And if the Amish gave up the horse and buggy and started walking they'd probably get hit along the shoulder of the road also by motor vehicles. SPEED KILLS. Slow down and drive 20 miles an hour in your motor vehicle and not as many people will die or even be seriously injured.
Randy June 13, 2026 at 2:47 pm on 11-Year-Old Amish Boy Seriously Injured After Buggy Pulls Into Path Of Oncoming SUVSure looks like a lot of damage. I have to wonder if speed and age were an issue. I'm 68 and know my reflexes aren't what they used to be. Please be careful when driving in Amish communities and pray for all in need.
Eileen Dykeman June 13, 2026 at 2:01 pm on 11-Year-Old Amish Boy Seriously Injured After Buggy Pulls Into Path Of Oncoming SUVThe lives of human beings and horses being lost has got to be having even God shaking his head. It’s time to trade in the horse/buggy mode of transportation for the safety of automobiles.
Rod June 13, 2026 at 1:49 pm on 11-Year-Old Amish Boy Seriously Injured After Buggy Pulls Into Path Of Oncoming SUVWe just heard that the Amish are adopting new safety practices. Probably not all Amish. In fact very few Amish.
Jane doe June 13, 2026 at 1:47 pm on 11-Year-Old Amish Boy Seriously Injured After Buggy Pulls Into Path Of Oncoming SUVThe county or state should have already cut the trees back and why is a child driving a buggy alone ? July 4th hasn't happened this year yet
José Juan June 12, 2026 at 7:00 pm on 12 More Photos From the Central Michigan Amish Retirement AuctionDespués de cuarenta años de estudio de Las Sagradas Escrituras de los cristianos he descubierto que Dios es más que Trino es Nono.... I wbelieve that God is more than Trino is Nono. Why I say this, I say it because one day I wondered with what Spirit the Hebrews of the Old Testament went to Holy Heaven. And I deduced that it had to be with another Holy Spirit than the Comforting Spirit, because in Old Testament times, the Comforting Spirit had not been sent. This was sent in the time of the Lord Jesus. Then if we count; the Deity is Nona, The Seven Spirits of God, the Father and the Son, Nine.

Martha Cable June 12, 2026 at 4:56 am on 11-Year-Old Amish Boy Seriously Injured After Buggy Pulls Into Path Of Oncoming SUVCommon sense would tell you that the view at the end of a lane should be cleared for a safe passage. And the poor horse didn’t have a choice.

Gerard Hawkins June 11, 2026 at 10:49 am on 12 More Photos From the Central Michigan Amish Retirement AuctionI like the white reflective angles on the buggies. I understand some don’t like the triangle but I think what they have looks good. Would like to see it at night.

Judy June 10, 2026 at 6:00 am on Amish Furniture – Colorado (13 Stores)When we had land near La Jara, CO, my husband purchased a beautiful wood cradle that needs to be rehomed. It's been protected and in perfect condition and never been used-craftsmanship is beautiful. We're located in the northern Denver area. Any ideas how I may move it along at this time?
