Letter: Could you add a genealogy section to The Icon?

Posted by Fred Steiner on March 29, 2010 - 1:12pm

Bluffton Icon:
First, I want to congratulate you on a great website! I was excited when I found it as I was looking for information on an old school in Allen County - Diller School.

I don't think you know me. I lived in Pandora for 11 years on the family homestead. We bought the farm on which my mother was born from my Uncle Clifton Neuenschwander. It's located on Road R between Road 3 and Road 4.

If April showers bring May flowers...

If April showers bring May flowers and Mayflowers bring the Pilgrims, what, then, do March showers bring? We don't have the answer to that, however, it's possible that they bring daffodils. We do know where to find a nice selection of early yellow daffodils, which are starting to bloom all over town. Here are some on the west side of town.
