Ada’s theatrical days recalled

The Ada Herald January, 18, 1978
Believe it or not, Ada had an 800-seat opera house and was able to support New York road shows some 90 years ago (1880). Players stopped here because facilities were good and the village was about midway between Pittsburg and Chicago on the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Troy J. Wilcox, age 49, died on Saturday, December 29, 2018 at 9:24 PM at the Van Wert Inpatient Hospice Center.

He was born on December 29, 1969 in Lima, Ohio to David and Janet (Stalnaker) Wilcox.  His father, David preceded him in death and his mother Janet survives in Waynesfield, Ohio.  On September 23, 1995 Troy married Stormy Hewitt and she survives in Harrod.
