Here's two stories from th 1870s about Ada:
Oct. 9, 1872 - The Great Grady Circus and Menagerie from Kenton, Ohio was the first circus to come to Ada.
1873 the first steam grist mill in the township was built by the Young Brothers. It stood on Lincoln Street opposite the Lutheran church. A scroll mill was built just east of the grist mill and it burned in 1876.
Two Ada High School students were candidates for this year's Hardin County Junior Fair king and queen. The two were Ashley Breidenbach and Hunter Purdy. Ashley is the daughter of Travis and Tracy Breidenbach. Hunter is the son of Matt and Brandi Purdy. Ashley was awarded runner up. The fair concluded on Sunday evening.

By popular vote, audience members of “Dancing With the Ada Stars” awarded contestant Jason Duff the coveted Disco Ball trophy. His vigorous and expressive rendition of the swing with Marina Hattan of the Utah Ballroom Dance Company bested five other Ada locals Saturday night in this stage version of the popular ABC talent competition at the Freed Center for the Performing Arts.
"I am extremely humbled and appreciative,” Duff told the Ada Icon. “It was a wild experience from start to finish, and certainly a wonderful way to celebrate music and the arts in Ada."
These four Ada women were officers of the Ada Parent-Teacher Organization during the 1956-67 school year.
