In which year was the first Bluffton teenager pulled over by a Bluffton police officer and charged with speeding?
Would you believe 1919?
The holders of this distinction are Raymond Stratton and Tesla “Tubby” Stearns. These Bluffton speed demons may have raced at the unheard speed, topping perhaps 15 miles per hour, and in so doing created an incredible racket.

The November meeting of the Bluffton Ohio Historical Society will take place at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 8 at Bluffton Town Hall, 3rd Floor.
