J. Carol Klingler, age 77, died on Thursday, September 13, 2018 at 8:37 a.m. at her residence in Ada.
She was born on November 6, 1940 in Lima, Ohio to the late James L. and Dona M. (Stemen) Graham. On September 24, 1955 Carol married J. Larry Klingler and he survives in Ada.
Carol was a homemaker. She was a member of the Liberty Baptist Church of Ada. She led a women’s Bible study at her home.
Geddis Klingler has the weight of whole world on his shoulders...or at least many pounds of drums. The 8th grader is just about one-piece band all by himself. He was part of the Ada homecoming bonfire celebration. More photo bonfire photos click here. (Monty Siekerman photo)

Cheerleaders rev up the crowd at the bonfire on Wednesday evening at the Ada Schools in anticipation of the Homecoming game on Friday evening.
The band was there to add enthusiasm. Football players, students in all grades, parents, school staff were all there to fire up the crowd. Even a few firemen (and their truck) were on hand to keep an eye on the flames.
Unexpectedly, the Ada Icon camera caught a few Hawaiians, a puppy, and a walking banana at the bonfire. It was a perfect evening for a pep rally at twilight.
Outstanding Ada High School tennis player Zach Beaschler has joined the ONU men’s tennis team. He is one of three freshmen who will challenge the returners for starting spots this season.
The men's tennis program is set to kick off the 2018-19 season with a trip to the two-day Oberlin Invitational this Saturday and Sunday.
They will then take on NCAA Division II foe Findlay (Sept. 22) and compete in the ITA Central Regionals in Saint Louis, Missouri (Sept. 28-30) to complete the fall portion of their schedule. The spring schedule will be announced later.
Last night, the school was informed that one of the junior high football players had a skin infection that is suspected to be MRSA. In response, we have disinfected multiple classrooms and restrooms. We have also cleaned out and disinfected the entire junior high football locker room including all football gear and uniforms. The junior high football game scheduled for tonight at Crestview will go on as normal. The student with the suspected infection will not be participating until cleared. If you have any additional questions, please contact the high school office.
