James Cox

Cox was the governor of Ohio when he ran against Warren G. Harding in 1920.

He owned a newspaper company that eventually became Cox Enterprises. Some of you visiting this site might be using Cox as your internet service provider. It's run by his daughters, who are worth about $12.5 billion each (That's not a typo)

I visited there on March 8, 2007. Peggy and I had to go to Indiana for my friend's wedding and we decided to hit a few graves along the way.

He is buried in Green Lawn Cemetery in Dayton, Ohio. Also buried in the cemetery are (in my opinion) American history's most famous siblings: The Wright Brothers. We visited their graves and went on our way.
