50 years ago this week - Bluffton's Palm Sunday tornado

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, April 12, 2015

Fifty years ago this week Bluffton experienced the sound of “a thousand freight trains.”
That sound was the Palm Sunday, April 11, 1965, tornado.

At 9:45 p.m., it ripped across the rural Richland and Orange Township landscape. It was like no other natural disaster experienced prior or since then in this community.

Had the tornado’s path been one mile north it would have struck the Village of Bluffton. Had it been 600 feet farther north it would have hit 32 planes parked at the Bluffton Airport.

With yellow hard hats, much fanfare and remembering the past, Ada's United Methodist dedicate the future

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, April 12, 2015

The First United Methodist Church, Ada, was dedicated on Sunday.

In July 2013 the congregation voted to move forward with construction of their new church building on their historic site in downtown Ada.

This $6 million, 25,000-square-foot project is supported by insurance receipts from the tragic March 2012 fire and significant gifts from members, friends, and other churches.

The Icon offers a photo series of events on Sunday below this story. Monty Siekerman is the photographer.
