Ada's latest news

This is a photo that hung in the Ada American Legion Post for many years.  When the legion sold the building no one knew what the group was. 

It is believed to be a photo of Ada Civil War veterans and some family members (Note the large picture of Abraham Lincoln). 

The Civil War veterans group met at the Legion Hall in later years according to Post records.  The back of the photo is only marked “Old Soldiers”. 

Maybe some Icon viewers will recognize their ancestors or the building in the background.

The Icon spotted KARCHER on a cherry-red Ford Focus wagon in Ada. It has a Bluffton University sticker on the window.

I would like to thank Christina Haught, who found my lost key ring and turned it in to the Ada

Police Department. All my very important keys where on this large key ring. You could have easily thrown them away,

and not worried about it, but you proved you are a kind, caring, and considerate person by turning them in!

I hope that you will know how very much I appreciated it, and how much you gave me back hope that

there still are some wonderful people in this world! Thank you Christina, God bless you.
