Thomas Edison proposed to his second wife via Morse Code!

Thomas Edison is without a doubt one of the most famous inventors in history. In his lifetime, he had 1,093 patents to his name and contributed to new inventions such as telephones, lightbulbs, and X-rays. Amusingly, Edison got frustrated with his first wife Mary at times because she couldn’t invent, and would often express this in his diary!

After Mary died, Edison soon became smitten with a woman named Mina Miller. He taught her Morse Code so that when her family was around, they could communicate by tapping into each other’s hands. One day, he tapped out the rather long message of, “Will you marry me?” Into her hand.

Mina’s reply? “Yes,” of course!
