Three-generation Elliott family seat on Ada school board ends after 62 years

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, January 14, 2016

By Monty Siekerman

The Elliott family in Ada has a long tradition of serving on the school board. Incredibly long!

Local pharmacist Michael Elliott has served on the board since 1990. After 26 years, he decided not to run for election again. Monday, when the board reorganized, he was officially no longer a board member.

Mike, the pharmacy manager at Rite Aid, is proud of his family service to the local school system.

That service began in 1936 with his grandfather, Dr. Floyd Elliott, a local physician, serving until 1955. Mike's father, Dr. Robert Elliott, also a local physician, served from 1962 to 1977.

Story provided by Jon Umphress

Dr. Jimmy Wilson, ONU professor took several of his geography students to Ada Kiwanis recently where he shared much more than simply a geography lesson.

As featured speaker at the meeting, Wilson said like most college towns in America, Ada, enjoys a symbiotic relationship with the university that resides in it.

And while the relationship is ultimately mutually beneficial, there are always things that each side wishes could be different.

For the proud residents of Ada, one such thing is having Ohio Northern University students learn more than just coursework during their four years in the village.
