He received his schooling from New Albany High School, and his college schooling from St. John’s College. He married Elizabeth Chew in 1821 and had three children. He invented the lawn mower on August 31st in 1830.
The lawn mower didn’t become popular until around the 40’s.

Thus, cutting the grass to an appropriate length. As the brake bar is pulled down, this opens up the area engine, so when the string is pulled, it engages a spinning sphere with heavily indented marks. This actions causes the piston to spin, in a way an old sewing machine worked. The sphere has magnets built into it, and when it spins past the ignition field, it creates a magnetic force, so it will continue to spin until stopped. This also creates electricity, so the ignition coil, can send energy to the spark plug. The piston then moves aside letting in crucial oxygen and fuel mix, so it can continue to run. This process is called the Intake Stroke. After that the Compression Stroke starts as the piston goes back into its original
