Mennonites flock to local towns for cheap land, rural atmosphere
Mennonite is not a misunderstood word in the town of Scipio.
For many residents, Mennonites - who are often confused with Amish by other people - live next door, repair their roofs, build fences and make the bread served on dinner tables each night.
They blend in with the rest of the town, driving dark-colored automobiles, talking on cell phones and conducting business with the rest of the county. They shop in local stores and women wearing prayer coverings buy meat from the Aldi grocery store in Auburn on Thursdays, something their closely related Amish kin would never do.
