Twenty-one-year-old Stanton Steiner poses with his first, and probably the family’s first motor car.
It’s a 1924 or ’25 Ford Model T “Doctors” Coupe. The picture was taken in a barnyard on his parent’s farm on Columbus Grove Road midway between Pandora Road and State Route 696. His parents were Sam and Sarah (Neuenschwander) Steiner.
Here's a Bluffton photo from what is believed to be a 1915 Fourth of July parade.
We base that upon the year of the vehicles in the photo, the bricked Church Street and the Russell Hotel on the left. The hotel burned to the ground in 1919. A very close examination of the license plates shows a "5." We also take into consideration the style of the dresses worn by the women walking toward Main Street.
Here are the Bluffton school bus drivers in the 1963-64 school year. From left, Raymond Powell, Emil White (also the BHS art teacher), Wayne Zimmerman, ______ Hicks, Rev. ________ Warren.

Note: The Icon posted these two photo in past Decembers, but they are worthy of a re-post. Dennis Morrison shared the photos originally with the Icon.
It's December in downtown Bluffton in the early 1950s. There's Santa with a Santa Halloween mask stepping up to meet kids. In the next photo Bob Crow and Paul Steiner hold the PA system as Santa talks with kids.
