Notes:	Wayne Method, 88, of Ashland, died Sunday, May 22, 2016 at Hospice House in Ashland. Born October 14, 1927 in Kosciusko County, Indiana, he was the son of Dale and Harriet (Farber) Method. He spent much of his youth in Oswego, Nappanee and Columbia City, Indiana and attended a one room brick Amish school named Caris. As there were not many Amish schools, the one room school housed all grades, and some of Wayne’s most pleasant memories were of going home with his Amish friends and staying over night at their homes. Wayne was a 1945 graduate of Columbia City High School and following high school, he began working for Weatherhead in Columbia City, Indiana. After 20 years, he was transferred to Cleveland, Ohio and then to Ashland, Ohio when Weatherhead purchased Hyco, Inc. Wayne loved golfing, bowling and boating. He is survived by his wife of 16 years, Carolyn (Fryman) Method; two sons and daughters-in-law, Steven and Sue Method and Marcus and Sharon Method all of Fort Wayne, Indiana; a daughter, Kate Method of Columbia City, Indiana; six grandchildren; nine great grandchildren; and a sister, Lucille Pressler of Indiana. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his first wife, Betty (Pratt) Method; his second wife, Opal (Wise) Method; and a sister, Betty (Method) Goudy. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Friday, May 27, 2016 at the Ashland Home of Wappner Funeral Directors, 308 Claremont Avenue, Ashland conducted by Rev. Nate Bebout. Burial will follow in Ashland Cemetery. Friends may call one hour prior to the service, from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m., at the funeral home on Friday. Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of North Central Ohio, 1050 Dauch Drive, Ashland, Ohio 44805.
