INVENTOR. EDIsoN's WIFE.
Romance Of Their Marriage Recalled BY
= So rg.# sf Her Death. s55I s5s 80

Mrs. Mary Stillwen Edison, wife Of
the inventor, Thomas Alya Edison, who
died at 2 A. NJ. Saturday ct Menlo Park,
N. j., was twenty mine years ofage, and
leaves surviving her three children.
The story of her marriage to Nh. Edison
is a singularly strange and romantic one.
When he first formed her acquaintance
he was about twenty-five years Of age.
He had just invented the chemical tele-
graph, by means Of which could be
transteansmitted, he claimed on a single
wire 5000 words minute. The tele-
graph, notwithstanding this, however.
became subservient to the Morse system.
While working on the chemical tele-
graph he employed several young wom-
en- to punch the holes in the paper.
Among. them was Miss Mary Stillwell,
One day he was standing behind her
chair examininga telegraph instrument.
"Mr. Edison" remarked Miss Still
we'll, suddenly turning around, II can
always tell when you are behind me or
near me-"
GLOW do you account for that %
mechanically asked MIR. Edison, still
absorbed in his work. ~. .
II don't know, T am sure" she quietly
answered; ''but seem to feel when you
are near me"
Miss Stillwell," said Mr. Edison,
turning round now in his turn, and
looking his interlocutor in the face,
"I'ye been thinking considerably Of you
OF late, and if you are willing to have
me I'd like to marry you"
"You astonish me-" exclaimed Miss
S tillweu. I'll never" 81
Il know you never thought I would
be your wooer," interrupted Mr. Edison,
"but think over my proposal, Miss
Stillwell, and talk over it with your
mother" Then he added in the same
offhand business-hke way, as though
he might be experimenting upon @ new
mode of courtship - Let me know as
early as possible if you consent to
marry me, and your mother is willing,
we can be married next Teusday."
This was the extent of Mr. Edison's
! courtship, It is hardly necessary to
! add that the highly favored lady laid
| the abrupt proposal before her mother.
Ma has consented" she told MIR.
| Edison the next day.
"That,s all right" said Mr.. Eds on
in reply. owe will be married week
from to-day"
And so it was. The two were mar
ried in week and day from the be-
ginning of Mr. Edison's novel and pre-
cipitate courtship. In connection with
his marriage. however, story is told
quite as singular, but fully in keeping
with the one already given touching his
corrtship. It is said that directly fol
lowing the marriage he entered his lab
orator in his wedding suit, and hastily
throwing his coat ON bench began
! work.
why, surely you are not going te
work on your wedding night?" remon-
| strated his chief assistant.
s'suppose it is" he quickly answered.
setting to work with renewed zeal; the
Gold and Stock company don't care fo1
that. They want their Instruments to-
morrow, anti they've got to have them
marriage or no marriage SO here goes.
The wedding trip of Mr.. Edison ran
into the mysteries Of inventions. His
welded life. however, is said to have
been a singularly happy one.
