It was organized as a religious society in August, 1841 at Huntersville, Ohio, a small village located about four miles southeast of Ada. In 1855 the congregation moved to what was then known as Johnstown (now, Ada) where they met in an old frame school house.

Here's Carisa Temple with Police Chief Harnishfeger

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, September 29, 2016

Here's a neat post from the Michael Harnishfeger, Ada Police Chief. It's from the police department's Facebook posted Tuesday:

Today while walking the halls of Ada school I discovered that it was Heroes and Villains Day.

Carisa Temple is a big fan of police and honored our profession by wearing her own police uniform. Carisa's uncle is a law enforcement professional with the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Thanks Carisa, glad we are the heroes and not the villains :)

Always a pleasure to interact with our youth. The future is bright in Ada, Ohio.
