St. Mary's Catholic concludes 150th year celebration on Sunday

Posted by Fred Steiner on August 10, 2015 - 11:46am

In 1865 the village of Bluffton was four years old.

There was no town hall. There were no Main Street retail buildings.

Bluffton University did not exist, nor did Bluffton schools. There were no railroads here.

A small pox epidemic had ravaged the rural Bluffton settlement from 1861 to 1863. The Civil War was ending. The State of Ohio had existed for only 62 years.

An Owens family, living in what is now the Lincoln Highway south of Bluffton, had recently converted to Catholicism.
