Union County • June 3, 2025
Good morning, Union County. Our community bids farewell to two remarkable individuals whose lives were defined by service and connection. Shirley Ann Peters Drumm leaves behind a tapestry of creativity and compassion woven through five decades of wedding dresses, band uniforms, and mentorship. Her 53-year marriage and dedication to both Eastern Star and rabid Buckeye fandom paint the portrait of a true Marysville matriarch whose threads of influence run deep throughout our county.
In similar fashion, Vietnam veteran James "Jim" Ulmer's organized, task-oriented nature served him well from his days as a Marine to his involvement with the Cornerstone Global Methodist Church and Union County Shrine Club. Meanwhile, a troubling incident has shaken the community as officers responding to a domestic dispute found themselves under fire, resulting in injuries and raising serious questions about firearm access among those with criminal histories.
