<div><strong>My name is Mark Naylor. </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>I am raising funds in order to produce a small grave marker for a brilliant forgotten inventor, Carl J. A. Sjoberg, 1851-1901. Husband, father, and mechanical engineer. His grave, recently located, is unmarked. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>An immigrant from Denmark and ultimately responsible for at least 13 patents through his life, Carl's greatest work was the Champion Typewriter; a demure but important machine. Among typewriter collectors, this piece of history remains a valuable artifact and reminder of a time when tenacity and ingenuity really were the bedrock of the American dream. This little machine and its predecessors were made for only 6 years (+-), between 1890-1896. He also contributed several patents for the sewing machine. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Carl, his wife, and a daughter rest together in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn NY. With your help, we can properly honor this forgotten legend. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I have received permission from the cemetery. All proceeds will be used for the grave marker. My efforts, when complete, will become a full research article for "Early Typewriter Collectors" magazine. </strong>
