Billy Sunday Drive and Airport Road are off of South Duff Avenue near the Cory Family cemetery where the family of the internationally famous evangelist Billy Sunday are interred. The street name and cemetery preservation were projects of the Ames Heritage Association. The Cory Family Cemetery/Billy Sunday Birthplace was dedicated as a preserved local history site on May 31, 1992. Pictured below the sign are from left to right, Marvin F. Miller, Donald E.
