Cadiz, Ohio

Cadiz, Ohio, gained distinction for producing many men of national prominence, more than any other community of similar size, and stood as a testament to the value of small town life to America. Bob Burns, grateful for his own small town youth in Van Buren, Arkansas, searched for towns that had fathered successful men and found many, with Cadiz leading them. Born in and near or living at Cadiz were General George A. Custer, Mary Jobe Akeley, John A. Bingham, Percy Hammond, W. H. Holmes, Clark Gable, Bishop Matthew Simpson, Hynn Harold Hough, Edwin M. Stanton, and General Thomas M. Vincent.
