for number of years.
Mr. Mccormick was born in the year 1909, in
the State of Virginia of parents both descended
from that capable and hardy Scotch-Irish stock
which peoples the only prosperous portion of
ireland. Both his father and mother were also
born in the same State, where they were people
of means and consideration Robert Mccormick,
the father was farmer with a mechanical bent
rare in men of his occupation. He owned sew
eral saw and grist-mills and blacksmiths and
carpenters shops, in which machinery
of various kinds was made and re-
paired Some of the machines were
inventions of their maker and proved of
value. Not of this class was certain reaping
machine, which, though it was a failure, as
sisted in the direction Of young Mccormick
energies toward the production of the reaper
which has gone far toward revolutionizing the
operations of the harvestfeld. Cyrus H. Nc
Cormick's reaping machine was invented in the
same year, 1881 in which that of his father
proved finally unsuccessful. The inventor was
only twenty-five years of age at the time, but
had invented previously hand cradle and
hillside plow, upon both of which letters pat
ent had been issued by the Office at Washington.
He experimental with the machine nine years
before putting it on the market, during the early
part of which time its value demonstrated
by frequent use in the field, and improvements
made III the details of Its construction as Sug-
gested by practice with it. The way to this was
assisted by the inventors ownership of farm
presented to him by his father. In 1884 NJ
Mccormick was granted the first patent on his
reaping machine. Three years afterward its in
ventor met with serious financial reverse in
the failure of partnership in the
smelling business of which he was
member. One result of this
misfortune was the concentration of Mr.. Nc
Cormick's energies upon his machine, which, az
was stated before was placed on the market in
1870 In 1915 its manufacturer took up his
residence in Cincinnati and in the same year
procured a patent on several improvements he
had made on his reaper This was succeeded
by additional patents, in l847 and 184S, in the
firstnamed of which years he removed to
Chicago. Not until some eight or nine years after
their being offered for sale did Mr.. Mccormick
begin the manufacture of his then already
famous reapers. In 1S46!4748 the machines
were manufactured in Brockport, New York, by
a firm who paid him royalty From about
seven hundred reapers made in the last named
year the business has extended to an annual
sale of about forty thousand For his reaping
machine invention he was elected by the French
Institute member of the Academy of Sciences
