Eight more newspaper stories published in 1875 were discovered this week telling about Micajah Clark Dyer's invention:
Auburn Daily Bulletin, New York, July 16, 1875
Daily Inter Ocean, Illinois, July 16, 1875
Cincinnati Daily Gazette, Ohio, July 2, 1875
Richmond Times Dispatch, Virginia, July 8, 1875
Springfield Republican, Massachusetts, July 14, 1875
Cleveland Leader, Ohio, July 17, 1875
St. Albans Messenger, Vermont, July 23, 1875
Rockford Weekly Gazette, Illinois, July 29, 1875
Of course, in addition to those, we already had found five:
Macon Telegraph & Messenger, Georgia, June 27, 1875
St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Missouri, July 16, 1875
Gainesville Eagle, Georgia, July 31, 1875
Official Gazette of U.S. Patent Office, Vol. 6, Washington, DC, 1875
Athens Banner-Watchman, Georgia, April 28, 1885
It is so interesting to see this much coverage of Clark's invention. It is very likely that there were even more stories that we've not yet discovered. It was an important event, and one for which he deserves a place in history.
