Jenny Frankart admired spoon rings and had watched an artisan at the Tiffin Flea Market make rings. Instead of going shopping, she ordered a ring making vise from Ukraine and waited six month for it to come to rural Bluffton. Her father-in-law modified it to work with flatware. That was in 2013.
This year, Frankart has opened the Rustic Bendz jewelry shop-workshop at her home, after a sequence of larger and larger vehicles to sell jewelry at shows, and then a walk-in trailer shop. She makes rings as well as necklaces, key chains, money clips, wind chimes, and other accessories that have sparked her imagination.
Our November 7 photo stirred pleasant memories of passenger trains in Ada, and their sounds, for some of the Icon's Facebook followers. Passenger service ended in 1958.
Patrick “Pat” Michael Archer, 50, the most genuine soul you will ever know, was called Home on November 3, 2021.
Patrick was a miracle and immediately blessed his father and mother, Barry and Suzanne Archer of Harrod, on February 18, 1971.
He has said that he barely graduated from Allen East High School in 1989 where he was active in FFA and 4-H. He was on the football team wearing his number 69 but didn’t play much and was ok with that because that meant that someone else had their chance to shine. He took pride in showing sheep and helping on the farm. Having his own farm was a lifelong dream that was never truly realized.
Tri-State Auto Liquidators LLC has temporarily set up in the former Cole Motors location on Buckeye St. in Ada with a sale of passenger vehicles from 2010-2021. With its eye-catching inflatables and balloons, the business is selling cars, offering cash prizes to shoppers as well as financing and insurance opportunities.
The sales event will run through Sunday, November 14.
