Thomas Alva Edison
Inventor (1847–1931)
3 / 4
Inventor Thomas Alva Edison was born on February 11, 1847, in Milan, Ohio. He was the last of the seven children of Samuel and Nancy Edison. Thomas's father was an exiled political activist from Canada. His mother, an accomplished school teacher, was a major influence in Thomas’ early life.
Early Career
At age 12, Edison convinced his parents to let him sell newspapers to passengers along the Grand Trunk Railroad line. Edison also used his access to the railroad to conduct chemical experiments in a small laboratory. He was kicked off the train and forced to sell his newspapers at various stations along the route.
Becoming an Inventor
In 1869, Edison moved to New York City and developed his first invention, an improved stock ticker. Edison was only 22 years old.
By the early 1870s, Thomas Edison had acquired a reputation as a first-rate inventor. In 1877, Edison developed a method for recording sound: the phonograph.
Edison Illuminating Company
The 1880s were a busy time for Thomas Edison. He invented the light bulb in January 1880. In 1884 Edison's wife, Mary, died, and in 1886, he married Mina Miller, 19 years his junior. He also perfected the phonograph, and developed the motion picture camera and the alkaline storage battery.
Final Years
Thomas Edison died of complications of diabetes on October 18, 1931, in his home. He was 84 years old.
