Talk:Charles Edison

Verse by Charles Edison

Here is some verse by Charles Edison, published in Bruno's Weekly Feb 19th 1916 under the pseudonym Tom Sleeper.

Biography

A Black crow flapped his wings in a dead tree. At the moment I was born. A camel awoke, stretched and wandered away over the desert; just then my mate came into being. We met quite accidentally at Darjeeling, married, raised five children, built a house, and kept a cat. Later, we died and were buried in the same grave. This completes our history . . . Not that it does anybody any good.

WW1?

It shows his draft registration card, but doesn't mention anything about war service in the article. Valetude (talk) 19:30, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

So if he was an inventor, what did he invent and why is it not listed here?
