ONU receives $5.38 million bequest from 1939 graduate

Nellie Hoghe was proud that her grandfather also attended ONU
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, February 9, 2017

Ohio Northern has received a $5.38 million bequest from Nellie M. Hoghe who lived in Van Wert and passed away a year ago at the age of 98.

The funds will be used for ONU's emerging opportunities and greatest needs.

Much of the gift is the result of the $4 million sale of 480 acres of land that included farmland, buildings and two wooded areas. The property had been in Hoghe’s family since 1852.

She graduated from ONU in 1939 with a business degree and spent her 37-year professional career in accounting at Continental Can Company in Van Wert. She grew up in a family that valued education, and she was proud that her grandfather also attended Ohio Northern.

Groundhog Day 2016 and 2017 - check the daffodils

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Thursday, February 9, 2017

Not finding a groundhog in Ada on Feb. 2, this photographer resorted to taking a photo similar to the one from last year...Abby checking out the daffodils popping through the ground at the Railroad Park.  

The growth of the daffodils compares favorably to last year's; however, the maturity of the golden retriever pup is significant. 

Abby was 4 months old a year ago, now 16 months. And, yes, Abby saw her shadow on a bright, sunny Thursday morning as did wild groundhogs here as well as Punxsutawney Phil in Pennsylvania.
