Chubbuck, Samuel W
inventor, was born in 1800 in Vermont. He made, it is said, the first telegraphic instrument ever manufactured. One of his inventions was that by which the paper on the reel could be used forty times. The circuitcloser attachment to the key, and the famous pony sounder, were also invented by him. He was a collector of coins and scientific instruments, and at one time had a coin collection valued at $30,000.
He died June 28, 1875, in Utica, N. Y.
