In 157 years most of the early farms in Liberty Township have changed owners. A few, however, have been passed down through the generations, and descendants of some of the early settlers still grow crops on the land their ancestors cleared. One of these farms is owned by Bob and Anna Mary Shanks on County Road 65. At some time in their lives, seven generations of the Shanks family have called this home.

OTTAWA - The Ada tennis team lost 4-1 at undefeated Ottawa-Glandorf in a makeup match Thursday.
Ada fell to 7-3 with the defeat while O-G ran its perfect record to 7-0. The Bulldogs are now 4-1 vs. WBL teams this spring.
