We thought this might be a tough one. It turned out so-so, as a couple viewers responded correctly. This is a window on Neufeld residence hall at Bluffton University.

AN ICON OPINION - No, it’s not the end of Bluffton as we know it.

You’ve read that the Bluffton-Beaverdam-Richland Township United Way board decided to join the United Way of Greater Lima.

Before we hear, “How can this happen!” please know that it is not the end of Bluffton as we now know it.

We feel for Lewis S., who may have lived in Bluffton over a century ago.

In late March of 1908 he penned this postcard note to a Miss Lizzy Poffendick of Columbus.

The note reads:
“Why not answer my letter. Are you angry at me. If you are just let me know. I have been up here since Saturday and will stay two or three more days.
Best regards
Lewis S.”

The postmark reads:
Bluffton, Ohio,
Mar 23 (March)
4 p.m.
1908.

It was received in Columbus the next morning at 8 a.m.
