Paragraph Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio. He was the youngest out of seven children. Thought he only went to school for three months because his mom home-schooled him his whole life because the school had called him slow. Thomas then stopped studying when he turned 16 and opened many businesses with some of his friends. He was a very successful man at that and made lots of money then got married to Mary. But sadly she died. So Thomas then, two years later marries Mina Miller and had three wonderful kids, Madeline, Charles and Theodore.

Thomas invented many things like the light bulb. But his first invention was the electric vote recorder. Then when he had many businesses he made the quadruplex telegraph, stock printer and more. But what people mostly remember about him was the invention of the light bulb, which he didn't actually create but improve to last up to thirteen hours instead of one or two.

Thomas' inventions improved American's lives all over the world. If it wasn't for him we would still be using candles all around the house. He prevented us from house fires and he brought us into the future, The stock printer I was talking about earlier was a great help to publishing companies because instead of just printing one paper at a time, it could print the whole book at once. Also the quadruplex telegraph was a great help too because it could send two messages at the same time in two complete directions. He had a creative mind and used it for good which makes him remembered as one of the world's greatest inventors.

Thomas died in 1931. He died because of a bad diet. But he didn't die until an year earlier. His diet was to drink a pint of milk every three hours. So he would wake up at 7 eat at 8 and finish eating for the rest of the day, just drinking milk. Then he lied that he had eaten lunch and dinner. His wife was trying to make him eat better but it never worked. So then a year later in 1931 he died at home.
