An artist’s rendition from 1961 examines that question more closely.
If you think nothing changes in Bluffton, think again. Here’s a bird’s-eye-view of Bluffton created 60 years ago, during the 1961 Bluffton centennial.
It shows the configuration of the village at that time.
The centennial committee also added the location of Bluffton’s first school house, a log grist mill, DeFord’s mill and the Townsend mill, which were among highlights of a centennial history tour.
Make yourself aware of these issues, especially when the effects of the problem are more severe in other countries, especially as we are disproportionately responsible for the problem

Recently, a lovely person who reads my work on the Icon sent me a thoughtful article. While the article was written over a decade ago, it is still relevant. It tackles open discourse about overpopulation.

As vaccination rates are increasing, the number of cases in Ohio is decreasing for a second straight week.
Ohio reports that 32.8% of the population is vaccinated, which is slightly higher than the overall country at 31.5%. These numbers are far below the estimated herd immunity requirement to successfully reduce COVID-19 infections and exposures.
Today, we take for granted that Bluffton has a hospital. Not every rural community, however, has one. What is the story behind how the hospital came into existence?
That story follows:
In February 1908 a stock company, incorporated for $20,000, was organized in Bluffton for the purpose of established a local sanitarium.
The home of Dr. J.J. Sutter, remodeled the previous year, was chosen for the sanitarium.
It was located on the northeastern corner of East College Avenue and Main Street, today the site of the Bluffton Public Library.
