Early life
Thomas Edison was born in Milan,Ohio,the seventh child of Samuel Ogden Edison,Jr.(1804-1896) and the former Nancy Matthews Elliott (1810–1871).His family was of Dutch origin.[1] He had a late start in his schooling as the result of an illness.His mind often wandered and his teacher the Reverend Engle was overheard calling him "addled".This ended Edison's three months of formal schooling.His mother had been a school teacher in Canada and happily took over the job of schooling her son.She encouraged and taught him to read and experiment.He recalled later,"My mother was the making of me.She was so true,so sure of me; and I felt I had something to live for,someone I must not disappoint."[2] Many of his lessons came from reading R.G.Parker's School of natural philosophy.Edison became hard of hearing at the age of twelve.There are many theories of what caused this; according to Edison he went deaf because he was pulled up to a train car by his ears.[3]
Thomas's life in Port Huron,Michigan was bittersweet.He sold candy and newspapers on trains running from Port Huron to Detroit.Partially deaf since adolescence,he became a telegraph operator after he saved Jimmie Mackenzie from being struck by a runaway train.Jimmie's father,station agent J.U.Mackenzie of Mount Clemens,Michigan,was so grateful that he took Edison under his wing and trained him as a telegraph operator.Edison's deafness aided him as it blocked out noises and prevented Edison from hearing the telegrapher sitting next to him.One of his mentors during those early years was a fellow telegrapher and inventor named Franklin Leonard Pope,who allowed the then impoverished youth to live and work in the basement of his Elizabeth,New Jersey home.
Some of his earliest inventions related to electrical telegraphy,including a stock ticker.Edison applied for his first patent,the electric vote recorder,on October 28,1868.
