Answer the following question: Information: - A can opener (in North American English and Australian English) or tin opener (in British and Commonwealth English) is a device used to open tin cans (metal cans). Although preservation of food using tin cans had been practiced since at least 1772 in the Netherlands, the first can openers were not patented until 1855 in England and 1858 in the United States. These early openers were basically variations of a knife, though the 1855 design continues to be produced. The first can opener consisting of the now familiar sharp rotating cutting wheel was invented in 1870 but was considered too difficult to operate for the ordinary consumer. A breakthrough design came in 1925 when a second, serrated wheel was added to hold the cutting wheel on the ring of the can. This easy to use design has become one of the most popular can opener models. - A metal (from Greek "metallon", "mine, quarry, metal") is a material (an element, compound, or alloy) that is typically hard, opaque, shiny, and has good electrical and thermal conductivity. Metals are generally malleable that is, they can be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking as well as fusible (able to be fused or melted) and ductile (able to be drawn out into a thin wire). About 91 of the 118 elements in the periodic table are metals, the others are nonmetals or metalloids. Some elements appear in both metallic and non-metallic forms. - New Haven County is a county in the south central part of the U.S. state of Connecticut. As of the 2010 census, the population was 862,477 making it the third-most populous county in Connecticut. Two of the state's largest cities, New Haven (2nd) and Waterbury (5th), are part of New Haven County. - Meriden is a city in New Haven County, Connecticut, United States, located halfway between the regional cities of New Haven and Hartford. In 2010, the population of the city was 60,868. - William Worcester Lyman ( March 29 , 1821 -- Nov 15 , 1891 ) was an American inventor from Meriden , Connecticut . He is credited with inventing the first rotating wheel can opener . William Lyman was born in 1821 in Middlefield , Connecticut . At the age of 15 he was apprenticed to the local company Griswold & Couch , located in Meriden , Connecticut , to learn pewtersmithery , and worked there until 1844 . After that , he continued working as a pewtersmith with various local companies until 1880 . In 1849 , he was appointed as State Representative in Meriden . On September 5 , 1841 William married Roxanne Griswold Frary , a local woman one year older than he was . He died in Meriden in 1891 at the age of 70 . Lyman was a dedicated inventor , and was awarded several US patents . The most famous is his rotating wheel can opener , invented in 1870 . Whereas previous can openers were basically variations of a knife , Lyman 's design was the first attempt to facilitate the procedure ( see picture ) . The can was to be pierced in its center with the sharp metal rod of the opener . Then the length of the lever had to be adjusted to fit the can size , and the lever fixed with the wingnut . The top of the can was cut by pressing the cutting wheel into the can near the edge and rotating it along the can 's rim . The need to pierce the can first was a nuisance , and this can opener design has not survived . In 1925 , a modern - style opener , equipped with an additional serrated wheel , was invented to substitute for Lyman 's design . His other patents were dedicated to improvements to various household food utensils such as a refrigerating pitcher ( 1858 ) , fruit can lids ( 1862 ) , tea and coffee pots , and a butter - dish . As an example illustrating the nature of those improvements , Lyman 's fruit can lid relied on the physical principle that hot food placed in a jar and then allowed to cool would suck down the lid , provided with an elastic rim inside , thereby sealing the can . After reading the paragraphs above, choose the best answer for the entity that related to 'william lyman ' with the relationship of 'place of death'.
