Cedar Point, That’s the Place

In 1922, J. Otto Martin, of Tiffin, wrote the lyrics to a song entitled Cedar Point (That’s the Place). The music was written by Belle Schrag.  The song was composed in honor of G.A. Boeckling, the president of the G.A. Boeckling Company and owner of the Cedar Point resort. Mr. Martin, who worked as an electrician for the G.A. Boeckling Co. in 1918, received serious injuries in an accident which damaged his spinal cord. In 1922, he and his daughter Mildred spent the summer at Cedar Point to attempt to recuperate. During this time, he wrote this song.
