I recently updated my Famous Findlayians page to add two new people. James B. Hill invented the Buckeye Traction Ditcher that helped drain the Great Black Swamp and James Purdy was an author who was ahead of his times but he influenced a number of writers.
Hill lived in Findlay for a number of years early in the 20th century and is buried in Maple Grove Cemetery.
New Famous Findlayian: William Wallace Campbell
Thanks to an article in the Courier the other day, I added a new name (to me) to my Famous Findlayian page. He is William Wallace Campbell.
Campbell wan an astronomer of note in the beginning of the 20th century and he helped confirm Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity.
