THOMAS A. EDISON - the
greatest invent of his own or any other age in the world's
progress, is entitled to a prominent position in this work,
not only because of the many advantages which have accrued
to Akron from his inventions, but especially because of his
alliance, by marriage, with the family of one of our own
best-known, most enterprising and most prolific inventors.
Thomas Alva Edison was born at Milan, Erie County,
Ohio, Feb. 11, 1847; removing with parents to Port Huron,
Mich., at seven years of age, his only education, except two
months at school, being imparted by his mother, though when
quite young becoming an extensive reader, particularly of
historical and scientific works. From12 to 16 years of
age young Edison was train-boy upon the Grand Trunk
Railway, between Port Huron and Detroit besides selling
apples, magazines, etc., establishing a weekly paper,
printed entirely by himself upon the train, entitled "The
Grand Trunk Herald," which he sold to passengers, at the
same time, also, at every opportunity, familiarizing himself
with the workings of the locomotive, and the electric
telegraph, fitting up in the caboose a chemical laboratory,
in the furtherance of his advanced ideas for the improvement
of the latter, later transferring his laboratory form the
caboose to the basement of his father's house, in Detroit,
also taking lessons in practical telegraphy, which he
followed for several years, at different points, with but
indifferent satisfaction to his employers, owing to the
pre-occupation of his mind with the inventive theories,
which, having since been practically solved, have brought to
him the world-wide fame which he now enjoys. Mr.
Edison was married at Newark, J. J., in 1872, to Mrs.
Mary Stillwell, who died in 1883, leaving three children
- Marion E., Thomas A., Jr., and William L.
