Here's a photo from Bluffton's tragic past. The identity of the barn is in question, but to the best of our ability we've identified this as the Ami Pifer barn. The photo was taken following the April 1965 tornado.
Thanks to details from Charles Hilty, Richard Jordan, Sam Diller we've pieced this story together (the photo had no ID except the word "Pifer" written on the backside).
