Audrey V. Binkley, age 87, died Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 5:55 am at Richland Manor Nursing Home, Bluffton.
She was born on June 13, 1925 in Hardin County, Ohio to Simon and LaVella (Carder) Barry, who preceded her in death. She married Darrell Binkley and they were divorced.
Audrey previously worked as a caregiver at Hanley House in Lima. She was a member of the Ada Church of Christ (Disciples). She was a Bible school teacher and volunteer.
Here's an unusual Ada post card. The sender describes his house in the photo. There's the message:
We live in the house with the x on it yellow in the picture, white in reality. Much obliged for the kindling wood. Come up and see us. - Brother (can't make out the name).
This is a colorized post card sowing North Main Street Ada near the turn of an earlier century. Notice the street light in the center of the photo. Also, notice the horse and carriag on the left side of the street.
