Joan Fredericks gives a manicure to Jeff Boehr, owner of the building housing Polished Nail and Body Salon

Joan Fredericks remembers when she "wanted to get her fingernails done." But, there was no such business in Bluffton, so she did something about it. She started her own nails shop.

Five years later, Nails by Joan grew and expanded. Now, the 417 N. Main St. business has a new name, many new services and much more room to handle customer needs.

Luther and Geneva Shetler hold their wedding photo from 70 years ago

You do the math: Luther and Geneva Shetler were married Dec. 22, 1940. So, 2010 minus 1940 equals, that's right, wedding anniversary number 70 this year.

Living in their 10535 Augsburger Road, Bluffton, home, they reminisced earlier today about their wedding seven decades ago.

"We were married at Eighth Street Mennonite Church, Goshen, Indiana, by J.E. Hartzler, who was interim pastor there," recalls Luther. Members of the wedding party were Joe Weaver of Goshen, best man, and Zelma Stamm of Archbold, Geneva's sister, as maid of honor.
