Thomas Alva Edison was an inventer that invented many many things. His most famous invention was the lightbulb. well, he didn't really create the lightbulb. he just made it better. Other things he made were the Phonograph and the motion picture camera. Edison was born in Michigan (GO BLUE!!!) and had 6 other family members, and a mother and father. He was only in an official school for about 3 months and was homeschooled by his mother for the rest of his educational life. At one point in his life, he saved a little boys life from getting hit by a train. Then, His father trained him to be a telegraph operator. He stayed in this job for many years.
At the age of 39, Edison married a 20 year old girl by the name of Mina Miller. They then had three children, Madeleine, Charles, and Theodore. All of them went on the be extremely succesfull and did amazing things. But later on, Thomas created the light bulb in his laboratory in Menlo Park New Jersey.
