UNIOPOLIS — If anything, Uniopolis residents showed they are in no hurry to find out their election results.
With seven provisional ballots left to be counted in 10 days, the vote to surrender corporate powers of the village tallied 55 for 56 against as unofficial numbers were released by the Auglaize County Elections Board Office.
Two ballot issues before Wapakoneta city residents failed to gain passage during Tuesday’s general election, and the Wapakoneta City Council member who championed the efforts accepted the blame for their defeat at the polls.
Marjorie L. Burnfield, 89, of Wapakoneta, died 2:22 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012, at the Wapakoneta Manor.
She was born Aug. 27, 1923, in Cleveland, Okla., the daughter of Cretora (Weaver) and Leo Earl Shields, who preceded her in death. On Dec. 28, 1947, she married Emerson E. Burnfield, and he died Dec. 17, 2006.
