Findlay author with Bluffton ties has humorous view of growing up in the '50s and '60s

Posted by Paula Scott on October 20, 2022 - 5:23am

By Paula Scott

If you met author Barbara Lockard during the years she worked in Bluffton for Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio, you might not even know that she is a writer. You might not know that she is wickedly funny–and I don’t mean that in a Halloween sense.

But you will have your chance if you come to hear Lockard and her sister Karen Striet at noon on Tuesday, October 25 at the Bluffton Public Library. A resident of Findlay, Lockard spent the first year of the COVID andemic writing on her blog, “Old and Slow and Turning White.” I’ve laughed aloud many, many times at the memories–often fond and always cynical–that Lockard writes about.

Steiner asks "If Bluffton is a Swiss community, where are the mountains?" in library presentation

Posted by Staff on October 12, 2022 - 5:12am

If Bluffton is a Swiss community, where are the mountains? is the topic of a presentation given by Fred Steiner at 6 p.m., Monday, Oct. 17, at the Bluffton Public Library.

The talk explores the background of Swiss immigrants who settled the rural area between Bluffton, Pandora, Columbus Grove and Beaverdam, beginning in the 1830s.

In a PowerPoint presentation, Steiner will share stories and photographs of some of these first settlers. He will also provide some of the reasons that the Swiss left Europe for America.
