Yes, Twice. First to Mary Stilwell when she was 16 years old, and he was 24 years old. Then to Mina Miller when she was 20 years old and he was 39 years old.
Mina Edison died because of old age. She was 91 when she died!!
yesYes, Edison married twice in his lifetime. The first was on December 25, 1871 to 16-year old Mary Stilwell. She died on August 9th, 1884 from a brain tumor. He remarried again in 1886 to Mina Miller.
Mary Stilwell might have died from a brain tumor. Mina Miller died of old age at 91 (natural cause a part of life)
Edison had two wives in his lifetime. First, he married Mary Stilwell, a sixteen year old, on December 25, 1871. Together, they had three children: Marion Estelle Edison, Thomas Alva Edison Jr., and William Leslie Edison. Mary Edison died on August 9, 1884, most likely from a brain tumor. On February 24, 1886, when he was thirty nine years old, Thomas Edison married a twenty year old named Mina Miller from Akron Ohio. She was the child of Lewis Miller, an inventor.
