There is an Ada in Wisconsin, too, but it is an unincorporated community
between Howards Grove and Kiel. (That's near my hometown, which is why I
know this - my 6th grade teacher lived there.) You can find it on a map (at
least on the Rand McNally Road Atlas) by following hwy 42 northwest out of
Sheboygan.
