The telephone and telegraph industries owe much to Robert Carson Gilliland and his sons, James F. and Ezra T., who are among the most prolific inventors ever to have lived in Lenawee County.
Between 1868 and 1908, the U. S. Patent & Trademark Office issued over 100 patents for their innovative creations.
Robert Gilliland was born in New York in 1822 and brought his family to Hudson in the fall of 1863. Little is known of his life before coming to Michigan. However, once he was here, he wasted no time in establishing himself as a practical man.
Gilliland established a small manufacturing business the Gilliland Electric Company in Hudson in 1871. For the next nine years he manufactured telegraph insulators, pins and brackets, selling 100% of his products to Western Union Telegraph Company.
ANGOLA â A mysterious monolith has appeared in Bird Song Park in Angola.
The triangular, metal object is about 10- to 12-feet tall and appears similar to ones discovered in Utah, California and Romania late last year. Instead of a shiny, reflective surface, the prism in Bird Song Park appears to be constructed of unfinished metal and has welded seams.
The monolith bears a singular marking: âMMXX,â the Roman numerals for the year 2020, are welded near the top of one of the sides of the structure.
Bird Song Park, located on the corner of East Maumee and North Elizabeth streets in downtown Angola, is privately owned by Craig and Colleen Everage and open to the public. The family plans to deed the land so it remains a park in perpetuity.
