Bishops of Toledo have a tendency to rise in the hierarchy. None rose farther than Samuel Alphonsus, Cardinal Stritch. When he became Toledo's bishop, in 1921, he was the youngest bishop in the US. He was just 34. Stritch went on to become Archbishop of Milwaukee, Archbishop of Chicago, and, as Pro-prefect of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith, the first American to head a branch of the Curia.
