Forgotten Bluffton: How did Bentley Road get its name?

For Thomas Bentley, a farmer south of town who owned 160 acres of land
Posted by Fred Steiner on August 23, 2020 - 2:43pm

Did you ever wonder how Bentley Road was named? Here’s the answer. It was named after land owner, Thomas Bentley, who owned 160 acres south of Bluffton, bordering the road now bearing his name.

His property fronted what is today on the west side of Bentley Road bordering Shifferly and Hillville Road.

The map used with this story shows that Bentley Road on the north side of Bluffton’s Main Street never connected to Bentley Road on the south side of Bluffton. However, at some point both roads took on the Bentley name.

Multi-condition nasal spray recalled

Manufacturers of desmopressin nasal spray recalls all lots

This column is provided by Ohio Northern University HealthWise Pharmacy.

All lots of Ferring Pharmaceuticals' multi-condition nasal spray are being recalled.

The problem? These lots have higher-than-specified amounts of desmopressin.

Higher amounts of desmopressin can lead to abnormally low levels of sodium in the blood. And very low levels of sodium in the blood can lead to dangerous health events, such as seizures, coma and even death.
