Schlaudroff, who is employed at the Electric shop and who recently got a patent on a generator for an electric lighting and starting system, has sold his patent to the Mitchell automobile factory of Racine, Wis. [Rochester Sentinel, Tuesday, May 11, 1915] FULTON COUNTY BOY BUILDS CORN CUTTER H. N. Gordon of Kewanna writes that Arthur Collins, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Collins, living three miles southeast of Kewanna, has invented a corn cutter and loader, which will save much work in getting green corn from the fields for filling silos. It cuts the stalk close to the ground, and then elevates it to the wagon driven alongside. The machine is on exhibition at the home of the inventor’s parents. It is said to be a great labor saver. [Rochester Sentinel, Monday, August 16, 1915] A REAL PATENT Charles Mullican of Macy has received word from Washington, D.C. that patent papers have been handed to him on a self setting steel trap. [Rochester Sentinel, Friday, July 14, 1916] George P. KEITH, 76, a resident of Rochester since 1882 died at 4:30 p.m. Christmas day, a victim of diabetis. He had been ill for the past six years and for the last year had been unable to walk as the result of a fall. Mr. Keith was born at Lima, Ind., August 27, 1840, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Keith, deceased. In 1860, Mr. Keith married Miss Margaret Ackerman, who survives. They celebrated their 56th anniversary Dec. 5th. They were the parents of Mrs. Albert Richter, who died in 1906 and of Mrs. Charles Gould of Rochester. He leaves two grandchildren, Dr. Lyman Gould of Ft. Wayne and Keith Richter of Plymouth. He also leaves one great-granddaughter, Muriel Gould. Mr. Keith leaves one sister, Mrs. Jeanette Craig of Lima, Ind. One sister, Mrs. Asa Ganlard of Lima is dead. Mr. Keith was well known here because of his activities as an inventor. He secured a patent a number of hears ago for a railroad crossing but it was not a financial success. In cooperation with James Miller he also invented a fire escape which was manufactured here for several years. When he came to Rochester in 1882, Mr. Keith purchased a half interest with George I. Miller in a drug store on Ninth street, in which business he continued until six years ago. For years Mr. Keith was the local representatve of the government weather bureau in which he took a great interest. Altho he was a druggist, he was skilled in mechanics and often neglected his business to work at his chosen hobby. Funeral Thursday afternoon at 1:30 at the house, Rev. S. A. Stewart of LaPorte in charge. Interment at I.O.O.F. cemetery. [Rochester Sentinel, Tuesday, December 26, 1916] GRANTED PATENT James Hanger, a young farmer south of Akron, has been granted a patent on a steel corner post and wire fence tightener combined. [Rochester Sentinel, Saturday, May 5, 1917]
Pa HOOSIER MAN DESIGNS A PORTABLE STEEL FORT Among the many suggestions on the war that reach Congressman Barnhart, two last week came of public interest. One is the free tender of a portable fort designed by Lewis Lear, of Rochester. It is made of steel, mounted on wheels, like the fighting tank, and is cone shaped, so that any missile that hits it will glance off. He thinks it can be used out in the open by machine gunners and easily moved to advantage. The other is an urgent demand from a Logansport man that the government furnish each farmer a $1,000 tractor with which to plant, cultivate and harvest his crops. [Rochester Sentinel, Tuesday, April 2, 1918] MADE FORTUNE FROM ICE CREAM FREEZER John W. CONDON, 88, died Monday afternoon at the home of his daughter, Mrs. M. A. Search, who lives south of the city. Death was due to senility. Funeral Wednesday afternoon at two o’clock in the Search home; burial at Logansport. Mr. Condon was born in Baltimore, Maryland, August 31, 1829. In 1855, he married Mary CRALK, who survives him. They were the parents of five children, four of whom are living: H. C. CONDON and Mrs. M. A. SEARCH of Rochester, and Mrs. Ida HUTCHESON and Mrs. Arthur BAKER of Logansport. Mr. Condon was well known in Rochester where he lived for several years at a local hotel. His entire life was given to investigation and invention. He claimed to be the first inventor of the modern type of ice cream freezer, out of which he made a small fortune. His earnings on useful ideas were all spent in further inventions, mainly along culinary lines. He placed the first baking machinery upon the market and it laid the foundation for machines now in use but cost him all his savings. Mr. Condon had been in every important city in the United States and Canada. His early married life was spent in various places, the five children being born in as many different states. [Rochester Sentinel, Tuesday, April 23, 1918] INVENTS ENVELOPE George W. Zerbe, Lake Erie agent at Tiosa, has secured a patent on an envelope flap that he hopes will develop returns for him. [Rochester Sentinel, Thursday, June 6, 1918] LEITERS MEN GRANTED PATENT Two Leiters men, Almon V. Deemer and Clarence Kelley, who recently applied to the patent Bureau at Washington, have been granted a patent for a heater to be used in automobiles. The heater invented is to be placed on the floor of the cars and heat is supplied from the engine exhaust. [Rochester Sentinel, Wednesday, October 22, 1919] SEEKS PATENT RIGHTS FOR TRANSMISSION BAND Ferman Powell, West Sixth street, has applied for a patent on a new transmission band lining for Ford cars, which has been pronounced by manufacturers as being superior to anything similar now on the market. The new lining is made of two materials and contains no metal substance of any kind. It is said that it has twice the wearing qualities of ordinary lining and has been used successfully on two cars for some time. Powell, who is something of a mechanical genius, is working on two other ideas, which if completed, it is stated, “will be a boon to Ford owners.” [Rochester Sentinel, Saturday, September 11, 1920] FORMER RESIDENT IS DEAD IN CHICAGO HOME
