Account of J.D. Rothen carols from 2020 Lima News
Curious about the New Year's caroling to be hosted by the Swiss Community Historical Society?
In December 2021 the caroling was cancelled--but prompted this extended account "Reminisce: Bluffton’s unique tradition of New Year’s songs" by the Lima News and Allen County Historical Society.
The article details the life of Swiss immigrant David Rothen and his expereinces as a farmer, school teacher and writer--including the composition of two New Year's carols.
For details on this year's caroling, see "SCHS New Year's Caroling invitation."
