George Eastman[50] was born on 12 Jul 1854 in Waterville, New York[50]. He died on 14 Mar 1932 in Rochester, New York[50, 33, 34]. Notes for George Eastman: General Notes: George Eastman (1854 - 1932) was an inventor in the photography field, specifically the invention of photographic film to replace photographic plates, thus leading to the technology used by film cameras prevalent in the 20th Century. I'm confident he would have marveled at the digital revolution dominant in the 21st Century. He was one of the founders of Eastman- Kodak Company. Unfortunately, the company pretty well went out of business in the early 2000's, continuing only in a small niche of the market.

He is a sixth cousin, once removed to my son-in-law, Steven O. Westmoreland. "George Eastman (1854-1932), was an ingenious man who contributed greatly to the field of photography. He developed dry plates, film with flexible backing, roll holders for the flexible film, a Kodak camera (a convenient form of the camera for novices), and an amateur motion-picture camera. Through his experimental photography, he accumulated a large sum of money. His philanthropic personality prompted him to give his money to various business endeavors, including the University of Rochester." Page 40 of 182 Tuesday, December 11, 2012 11:29:07 AM
Register Report for William Bradford Generation 7 Source: Michelle Rose and Holly McLeod,http:// www.history.rochester.edu/class/kodak/kodak.htm "He was a high school dropout, judged 'not especially gifted' when measured against the academic standards of the day. He was poor, but even as a young man, he took it upon himself to support his widowed mother and two sisters, one of whom was severely handicapped. "He began his business career as a 14-year old office boy in an insurance company and followed that with work as a clerk in a local bank. "He was George Eastman, and his ability to overcome financial adversity, his gift for organization and management, and his lively and inventive mind made him a successful entrepreneur by his mid-twenties, and enabled him to direct his Eastman Kodak Company to the forefront of American industry. "But building a multinational corporation and emerging as one of the nation's most important industrialists required dedication and sacrifice. It did not come easily. "The youngest of three children, George Eastman was born to Maria Kilbourn and George Washington Eastman on July 12, 1854 in the village of Waterville, some 20 miles southwest of Utica, in upstate New York. The house on the old Eastman homestead, where his father was born and where George spent his early years, has since been moved to the Genesee Country Museum in Mumford, N.Y., outside of Rochester. "When George was five years old, his father sold his nursery business and moved the family to Rochester. There the elder Eastman devoted his energy to establishing Eastman Commercial College. Then tragedy struck. George's father died, the college failed and the family became financially distressed. "George continued school until he was 14. Then, forced by family circumstances, he had to find employment. "His first job, as a messenger boy with an insurance firm, paid $3 a week. A year later, he became office boy for another insurance firm. Through his own initiative, he soon took charge of policy filing and even wrote policies. His pay increased to $5 per week. "But, even with that increase, his income was not enough to meet family expenses. He studied accounting at home evenings to get a better paying job. "In 1874, after five years in the insurance business, he was hired as a junior clerk at the Rochester Savings Bank. His salary tripled -- to more than $15 a week. "When Eastman was 24, he made plans for a vacation to Santo Domingo. When a co-worker suggested he make a record of the trip, Eastman bought a photographic outfit with all the paraphernalia of the wet plate days. "The camera was as big as a microwave oven and needed a heavy tripod. And he carried a tent so that he could spread photographic emulsion on glass plates before exposing them, and develop the exposed plates before they dried out. There were chemicals, glass tanks, a heavy plate holder, and a jug of water. The complete outfit "was a pack-horse load," as he described Page 41 of 182 Tuesday, December 11, 2012 11:29:07 AM
