Have a great Fourth of July weekend - from the Icon

Here's a patriotic Ada post card from the past
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, July 1, 2021

Letter to Icon viewers:

The Icon wishes all viewers a happy and long Fourth of July weekend.

Our own celebration begins a little early, as we will take a few days off between now and the first of the week. Don’t worry, stories will continue to appear, just on a slower schedule. And, some of the regular weekly features are taking the week off.

In the meantime, here's a patriotic post card showing the "Soldiers Monument and Pennsylvania Railroad Depot in Ada." The post card mailed Sept. 11, 1914, from Ada to Findlay from Mina Klingler to Harry Hahn in Findlay.
