Happy Birthday Eliot Ness! Ness served as Cleveland’s Safety Director for Mayor Harold Burton during the years of 1935 to 1941. Sponsored by the Friends of the Olmsted Falls Library
Happy Birthday Eliot Ness! Ness served as Cleveland’s Safety Director for Mayor Harold Burton during the years of 1935 to 1941. In these short years, Eliot Ness made an impact on the city of Cleveland that has lasted for generations. He came at a time when our city was very corrupt and when it was regarded as the most dangerous city in the country. Within a few short years we were awarded the “National Safety Award” thanks to Eliot’s relentless pursuit of justice and honesty. Two of his 3 wives were popular in their own right within the artistic community of Cleveland. Today’s photos and stories will share the Eliot Ness that you won’t get from the movies - because, in this case, the truth is more fascinating than fiction.
