ONU and the Village of Ada are joining together to honor Civil War veterans from Ada and Liberty Township.
After much research, the names of 81 veterans of the War Between the States have been found and their names, rank and unit will be inscribed on bricks and placed at the foot of the Civil War era canon in Railroad Park. The canon is a monument to those men who fought to preserve the Union and free a people.

Kenzie VanHoose, 2, marvels at a butterfly that landed on her hand during the release. The orange and black-spotted “painted lady butterfly” becomes large, with a wing span of 2-3 inches, and lives about two weeks. (Monty Siekerman photos)
Easily overlooked and soon to be demolished, the homely, two-story brick building next to the Heterick Library, Clark Hall, has played an important part of Northern’s history.
Constructed in 1949, Clark Hall was the university’s first purpose-built dormitory. How and why it was built tells a great deal about the university.
