Note:Here's an Ada Halloween story. Leland Crouse alerted the Icon about it, which was originally posted in Betty Miller's Small Town Sampler on Oct. 24, 1990.
Sitting in a group of friends one of the ladies brought up a story about seeing a ghost at her downtown apartment. I had to hear the whole story and went to visit my friend.
My friend’s husband bought a building in Ada. For several years the couple had lived on the second floor apartment while they remodeled the third floor, a former lodge hall where meetings and entertainment were held from 1905 until sometime in the 1940s.

The Ada football team can salvage a disappointing season with an upset of backyard arch-rival Allen East Friday in the regular season finale.
A Bulldog victory would deprive AE (8-1, 5-1 NWC) a share of the league title, and possibly also a playoff spot.
On the other hand, with a victory AE will grab at least a share of their first conference title since 1995 - and clinch its first playoff berth in 13 years.
The Mustangs won 20-14 at home vs. Crestview in week nine to stay in a three-way tie for the league lead with two-time defending champion Spencerville, and 2018 co-champion Columbus Grove.
Senior All-American Chelsea Huppert (Bremen, Ind.) had 12 kills and five blocks and senior Sydney Bapst (Grove City) had 11 kills to lead No. 10-ranked Ohio Northern in a 26-24, 22-25, 25-12, 22-25, 15-13 loss to Otterbein on Tuesday night at the ONU Sports Center.
The Polar Bears (22-5 overall, 7-1 OAC) also got nine kills and five blocks from freshman Madison Kern (Loveland/Mount Notre Dame).
The Cardinals (22-5, 6-2) were led by Dasha Bruyako with a career-high 22 kills, Emily Shuk with 18 kills, Amber Greeley with 17 kills and Tate Eppard with 10 kills and 10 blocks.
