The fact he is called "Uncle Bilbo" did not bother Tolkien, who helped write the Oxford English Dictionary.

Broken treaties, heavy hearts: New Ohio historic marker details the Wyandot Removal Trail
In 1843, the Wyandot tribe was forced to leave Ohio. They had to walk 150 miles from Upper Sandusky to Cincinnati, leaving behind all they built in the Sandusky River Valley.

Got to see the largest surviving fragment of the 17th century Chehel Sotoun rug today. Marketed as the largest rug ever produced when it was cut up and sold off in pieces. Legend has it that it took 2 elephants to carry it from the Deccan to Isfahan. Who knew this was at the Cincinnati Art Museum?
