Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, October 1, 2013

Three hundred people were on hand Sunday afternoon to wish Agnes Crates a happy 100th birthday at a celebration at the Ada VFW. 

Relatives and guests came from far and wide to congratulate one of their favorite persons on her long and wonderful life as well as give and receive a hug and kiss from the honored guest.

Agnes was born on Sept. 23, 1913 in Forest, Ohio.  She married Ralph Crates when she was almost 17 and they moved to his home in Ada.  While Ralph died in 1948, Agnes continues to live in the same home 83 years later.
