(Continued from Page One)
j 1873, Mr. Edison married
I Mary G. Stillwell, by whom he
j had three children, Marion Estelle,
j Thomas A., Jr., and William L
| Mrs. Edison died in 1884 and two
I years later the inventor married
j Mima M. Miller. Three children,
: Madeline, Charles and Theodore,
| were born of this union
In October 1928, Thomas Alva
Edison was presented with the
: gold medal of the Congress of the
j United States, the reverse side of
i which bore the inscription: “He I
illuminated the path of progress |
by his inventions”.
On that occasion President
: Coolidge saluted the venerable, i
and renowned inventor thus:;!
“Noble, kindly servant of the' |
United States and benefactor of j j
mankind”. i
These two sentences tell tersely i
and vividly what Mr. Edison did,
and was, and encompass the
achievements of one of the most |
useful and fruitful of American j
lives.
For more than 50 years Edison j
conceived ideas and then turned j
out devices founded upon them.
An invention was born of the
Edison brain on the average of
about one every two weeks, and
his registration of approximately
1,200 patents at Washington made
him the most prolific inventor of
his time and, perhaps, of all time
During the greater part of his
life Mr. Edison devoted himself
largely to inventions of an electri
cal nature, foremost of which *
were the incandescent lamp and
systems for transmission of elec
tric light, heat and power; ap
paratus and machines to improve
systems of communication by tel
ephone and telegraph; the phono
graph and moving picture ma
chines.
In 1926, in connection with the
47th anniversary of his invention
of the incandescent lamp, Mr.
Edison said that his inventions
that underlie the -electric light
and power industry h% considered
the most important of his works.
Two years later Arthur Williams,
vice-president of the New York j
Edison Co., estimated that the!
value of the enterprises which!
owned their origin, in part at!
least to Edison genius, represent- |!
ed five times all the money in j 1
circulation
With the outbreak of the World I
War, the Edison works, among j
many American industries, faced j
a serious situation because of the
cessation of imports of various
chemicals for w^hich the United
States had depended upon Europe.
The “Wizard of Menlo Park”, as
Edison had come to be known,
then plunged into the mysteries
of synthetic chemistry and evolv
ed processes for the manufacture
of various products that were
needed in industry and which be
came essential in the manufac
ture of munitions after the Unit
ed States entered the war.
Before that step was taken by
the American government, Mr.
Edison had been named by
Josephus Daniels, then Secretary
of the Navy, head of the Naval
Consulting Board, the member
ship of which included a score of
Americans prominent in the field j
of inventive research.
The SS Admiral Evans was re
ported to be pulling into Yakutat
at noon today and was scheduled
to arrive in Cordova tonight. This
should bring the liner in late
Tuesday night at the earliest but
it will possibly arrive in Seward
Wednesday.
