This was the Mennonite Memorial Home before any additions were added to the building. From a picture post card, the message on the back side reads "Mennonite Memorial Home," Home for the Aged, Bluffton, Ohio, Sponsored by Eight General Conference Churches in Ohio. This photo was taken in the mid 1950s.
Dennis Morrison took these photo on Dec. 10. The project involved members of the Bluffton Boy Scout troop 256 with their leaders, under the direction of Dick Boehr.
The project involved probing for and recovering cemetery markers in the Jefferson Street cemetery. Some of the markers have been buried since State Route 103 was constructed and are possibly under the street.
