Nathan B. Stubblefield, the Man History
Overheard
By
Harvey
Geller
••••
In Life's current Bicentennial
issue, radio checks in, at #86 on the hot
"100 Events That Shaped America," 19
buttons behind Bell's telephone.
Erroneously, Life lists Guglielmo Marcon's
dots and dashes as the first wireless
broadcast, a fable echoed by the World
Almanac and Encyclopedia Britannica. It's
a forgivable mumpsimus, since the evidence
offered on the following pages has not,
until now, appeared in any national
publication.
••••
The birth of broadcasting is a bizarre
soap opera saga, a lacrymal legend of
mystery, machination, ephemeral
enshrinement, decline, disillusionment and
disaster. It's denouncement dissolves six
miles north of Murray, Kentucky, in a
two-room shanty constructed of pine and
cornstalks, where radio's uncelebrated
architect is discovered 48 hours after his
death, his records scattered, his
equipment destroyed, his brain partly
eaten by rats. Even local radio fails to
mention his demise. He is Nathan Beverly
Stubblefield, the man history over-heard
and then overlooked.
"They all laughed at Christopher
Columbus
When he said the world
was round:
They all laughed when
Edison recorded sound . . .
Ha, Ha, Ha -- who's got the
last laugh now?"
--Ira Gershwin, 1937
 When
an inordinately eccentric young farmer
suggested that he had invented a portable
wireless telephone that could broadcast
voice and music up over hight buildings
and down through stone walls, most of
Calloway County, Kentucky, chuckled. When
he revealed his "crazy box, and odd
assortment of batteries, rods, coils and
kegs, they howled.
•••85
years after, their heirs are writing songs
of love, christening radio stations,
consecrating libraries and constructing
memorial monuments in his infinite honor.
The veneration is hardly widespread.
17,000 Murray, Kentucky, tobacco farmers
may agree that Nathan B Stubblefield was
the first man on earth to transmit and
receive the human voice without wires. But
most of our world is unacquainted with his
improbable name and even his proponents
are unaware of the precise date of his
private discovery. Evidence points to a
period between 1890 and 1892, at least
seven years before Marconi sent the first
wireless telegraph message across the
English Channel.
•••
Stubblefield's
supporters maintain that telegraphy is far
different from telephony; that they are, I
fact, diverse discoveries. Wireless
telephone is hip-to-shore radio, the
walkie-talkie, the citizen band and
portable radio, the mobile phone, the
audio arm of television, rheostats,
rectifying tubes, filaments, dials,
microphones, AM and FM radio and every
broadcasting booth on earth--not Marconi's
Code signals.
•••Marconi's
name is linked with Stubblefield's by
Trumbull White in a book called The
World's Progress, published in 1902. "Of
very recent success are the experiments of
Marconi with wireless telegraphy, an
astounding and important advance over the
ordinary system of telegraphy through
wires. Now comes the announcement that an
American inventor, unheralded and modest,
has carried out successful experiments of
telephoning and is able to transmit speech
for great distances without wires . . the
inventor is Nathan B. Stubblefield."
• ••
"This Fellow Is Fooling me."
•••"Hello,
Rainey," according to Dr. Rainey T. Wells,
founder of Murray State College, was the
world's first radio message. Testifying
before an FCC commission in 1947, Rainey
explained that he had personally heard
Stubblefield demonstrate his wireless
telephone as early as 1892.
•••"He
had a shack about four feet square near
his house from which he took an ordinary
telephone receiver, but entirely without
wires. Handing me these, he asked me to
walk some distance away and listen. I had
hardly reached my post, which happened to
be an apple orchard, when I heard 'Hello,
Rainey' come booming out of the receiver.
I jumped a foot and said to myself, 'This
fellow is fooling me. He as wires
somewhere.' So I moved to the side some 20
feet but all the while he kept talking to
me. I talked back and he answered me as
plainly as you please. I asked him to
patent the thing but he refused, saying he
wanted to continue his research and
perfect it."
•••Dr.
William Mason, Stubblefield's family
physician, described a day during that
same year when Stubblefield "handed me a
device in what appeared to be a keg with a
handle on it. I started walking down the
lane . . . from it I could distinctly hear
his voice and a harmonica which he was
broadcasting to me several years before
Marconi made his announcement about
wireless telegraphy."
••••••
Stubblefield was
born in Murray, Kentucky, 1860 the son of
Attorney and Mrs. William Jefferson
Stubblefield (Capt. Billy). In his teens
he was reportedly an omnivorous student
and researched everything available on the
new science of electricity. When Alexander
Bel phoned Tom Watson on March 10, 1876,
to say "Come here, Watson; I want you,"
Stubblefield was already experimenting
with vibrating communication devices. In
1888 (Patent #378,183) he invented a
vibrating telephone. The Murray News
Weekly carried this item: "Charlie Hamlin
has his telephone I fine working order
from his store to his home. It is the
Nathan Stubblefield patent and is the best
I have ever talked through."
•••Stubblefield
manufactured and patented batteries which
he later described as "the bedrock of all
my scientific research in raidio" (his
spelling).
••••••
"I have been
working on this, the wireless telephone,
for 10 or 12 years," he told a St. Louis
Post-Dispatch correspondent in January,
1902. "This solution is not the result of
an inspiration or the work of a minute. It
is the climax of years. The system can be
developed until messages by voice can be
sent and heard all over the country, even
to Europe. The world is it limits."
 "Diamonds
as Large a Your Thumb."
•••With
the new industrial and scientific epoch at
hand and the first Roosevelt in the White
House, Stubblefield built his broadcasting
station, a tiny workshop on the front
porch of his modest farmhouse. It was
barely wide enough to hold the transmitter
and one char. The transmitting mechanism
was concealed in a box four feet hight,tow
and a half feet wide, one and a half feet
deep. "In that box," said Stubblefield,
"lies the secret of my success." Five
hundred yards away was the experimental
receiving station, a dry-good box fastened
to the foot of a tree stump.
•••The
St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter noted
that Stubblefield's 14-year-old son,
Bernard, was left on the porch wile h and
the inventor walked to the stump. The
writer picked up a receiver and heard
spasmodic buzzings and then: "Hello. Can
you hear me? Now I will count ten.
One-to-three-four-=five-six-seven-eight-nine-ten.
Did you hear that? Now I will whisper."
Later Bernard whistled and played the
mouth organ.
•••"I
heard as clearly as if the speaker were
only across a 12-foot room" wrote the
newsman.
•••When
the article appeared on January 10, 1902,
Stubblefield was besieged by capitalists,
financiers, stock-jugglers, hucksters and
hawkers. Dr. Mason recalled seeing a
$40,000 check for a part interest in the
invention, as titans of industry "wearing
diamonds as large as your thumb" scuttled
up industry dirt roads to Stubblefield's
flinty farm.
•••"You
and I will yet add luster to the
Stubblefield name," wrote Nathan to his
cousin, Vernon.
•••He
refused all propositions, including one
for half a million dollars. "It is north
twice that," he insisted, entrusting only
his son, Bernard, with the secret of his
mysterious keg. On occasion he repelled
over-inquisitive visitors with a
shotgun.
•••Invited
by leading scientist, he traveled with his
trunk of mystery to Washington, D.C.,
where he demonstrated the practicability
of his contrivance from the steamship
Bartholdy on the Potomac to crowds along
the river bank. On Decoration Day, 1902,
he broadcast words and music form the
Belmont Mansion and Fairmont Park in
Philadelphia to hundreds of statesmen,
investors and newsmen. He obtained patents
in England, the U.S. and Canada.
••••
In the Canadian patent is a drawing of a
"horseless carriage" with a broadcasting
set, presaging the auto radio by 30 years.
But perhaps even more remarkable are
notations that by reversing a switch one
could change a broadcasting station into a
receiving apparatus.
••••
Articles appeared in major newspapers
throughout the world acclaiming him as the
distinguished inventor of the wireless
telephone and a celebrated scientific
genius. At lease one extravagant reporter
suggested that Stubblefield ad crated "the
world's greatest invention."
 Decline
and Fall.
••••
There are three conflicting theories on
how this farmer-inventor sowed the wind of
immortality and reaped the whirlwind of
oblivion. His cousin, Vernon, claimed the
invention was stolen
"Will I ever see my
trunk again?" Stubblefield scribbled on
the back of an old map after he returned
from Washington.
••••
"All his valuables were in that trunk,"
said his cousin.
••••
Perry Meloan, newspaper editor of
Edmonton, Kentucky, an ear-witness to the
first public demonstration in Murray,
declared that Stubblefield was inveigled
into a partnership in the Wireless
Telephone Company of America, located at
Broadway 11, New York. Learning that the
firm was not interested in perfecting his
creation but merely in selling stock
unscrupulously, Stubblefield returned
home. "Damn rascals," was his bitter
comment to friends, and he advised them to
withdraw their investment in his project.
Soon after, he renounced his wife, nine (5
surviving) children and all relatives and
built his hermitage gut in Almo, six miles
from his family farmhouse. That farmhouse
later mysteriously burned to the
ground.
••••
His son, Bernard, joined the Westinghouse
Electrical Corp., the firm that introduced
the commercial radio. Did Bernard utilize
his father's secrets to produce those
early sets?
••••
Wireless lights appeared in the trees and
along the fences guarding Stubblefield's
crudely constructed shanty and, according
to neighbors, voices, apparently coming
from the air, were heard by trespassers.
"Get your mule out of my cornfield,"
Stubblefield's wireless voice was hard to
say in the night.
••••
He curtly refused the aid of friends. "He
was never insane," they insisted, "only
queer."
••••
Robert McDermott found the body of Nathan
Stubblefield on March 30, 1928. "Death due
to starvation," was Dr. Mason's
conclusion. In a unmarked grave in
Bowman's cemetery, one and a half miles
form Murray, Stubblefield lies alone.
••••
In 1930 a memorial to "the first man to
transmit and receive the human voice
without wires" was dedicated at Murray
State Teachers College campus, less than
100 feet from the charred ruins of the
world's first broadcasting station.
••••
In 1962 his tragic life was dramatized in
an epicedial folk opera, The Stubblefield
Story, composed by Murray State professor
Paul Shahan and Mrs. Lillian Lowry and
performed in the campus auditorium.
••••
Murray's only radio station, 1 1000-watt
outlet, broadcasts "middle of the road and
some rock music as well," according to
owner Fransuelle Cole. Book-ended between
Bruce Springsteen's "Borne to Rune" a a
live commercial for Kroger's grocery, on
hears. "You are tune to WNBS, 1340 on your
radio dial in Murray, Kentucky: the
birthplace of radio."
••••
The stations call-letters, not
accidentally, are Stubblefield's
initials.

97
 May
13, 2019 -- Doris Day,
actress,
singer, animal-welfare

to 1967.
•••
Day was one of the
top female box-office star in Hollywood
history, with a No. 1 ranking in 1960,
1962, 1963 and 1964. She had her first hit
as a big-band vocalist during World War II
before making nearly 40 movies in the next
two decades, reigning supreme at a time
when her contemporaries included Audrey
Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth
Taylor.
•••She
also co-starred opposite Rock Hudson in
three films.
•••Day
was born Doris Mary Ann Kappelhoff on
April 3, 1922, in Cincinnati, Ohio, the
youngest of three siblings. All of her
grandparents were German immigrants.
•••

she was first married to Al Jorden, (
March 1941 to February 1943) Her only
child, son Terrence Paul Jorden (later
known as Terry Melcher), resulted from
this marriage. Her second marriage (March
30, 1946, to May 31, 1949) was to George
William Weidler, a saxophonist who told
her he was leaving her by letter after
eight month of marriage. Day's fourth
marriage ( April 14, 1976, until April 2,
1982) was to Barry Comden, the
maître d'hôtel at one of Day's
favorite restaurants.

Hollywood, said back in 2007, "The idea of
putting together a tradeshow by hassling

who did that is not in business
anymore."

His
upcoming Spring conference at the Skirball

separate multi-track but co-located events
is still the only conference that brings
together creatives, agents, distributors,
technologists, financiers, lawyers and

of these people to be in the same room,
unless there's a common purpose and a
common theme. More minds have been changed

Springtime in
Cannes
By Josie
Cory
A h h h . . . Spring in Cannes…where
mild breezes blow as the warm
Mediterranean sun smiles over this
beautiful spot on the Cote d'Azur. There
you can feel a timeless sensuality,
assuaging a nostalgia for the
Mediterranean which since as far back as
the 16th century has been a constant theme
in many a Northern European's life.
•
• "Now give us
lands where the olives grow," Cried the
North to the South, "Where the sun with a
golden mouth can blow blue bubbles of
grapes down the vineyard row!" Cried the
North to the South. (to borrow a phrase
from the English writer Elizabeth Barret
Browning).
•
•"Cannes,"
wrote Charles Lentheric, the indispensable
and erudite historian of maritime
Provence, in 1880, "is a town where you
feel no need to work," and "where the
inhabitants were not interested in the
world that lay beyond their shady gardens,
or the sheltered balconies of their
hotels."
•
• Now the
world has come to Cannes, chosen it to be
their Mediterranean queen for its annual
events, and when you stroll along the
Croisette on some warm April day you will
hardly share Mr. Lenteric's sentiments.
Voila! Cannes! It has emerged truly
cosmopolitan.

where it needed a national
publication that would analyze
and put into focus -- the news,
issues and problems which
particularly concern the
production and distribution of
film for television.
•••
When Al Preiss died in August
1986, the television industry
lost an untiring advocate and a
giant of a good friend. The tall,
wonderfully amiable publisher
truly seemed to do it all --
attending nearly every press
conference, speech, convention
and reception, and was never seen
without his trademark clear
plastic briefcase. You turned
around at these functions and
there was Preiss, taking notes,
talking animatedly, telling
stories, doing his job. One that
he not only loved, but felt was
necessary and important. He did
it all with the help of his
charming wife of 25 years,
Sylvia, who was editor of the
magazine during the years of 1985
and 1986.
•••
The controlling interest of the
magazine, with all of its
archival history was purchased in
1987 by the Cory's.
