February 1930 within 20 minutes from the time a big crane started to work, a new Pennsylvania railroad bridge weighing 300 tons was in position across Grass Run east of Ada.
February 1930 the Theta Phi Delta sorority established a home at 503 South Johnson Street. It was the first to establish a home after reactivation went into effect.
