Elisha gray was an American electical engineer and developed a telephone prototype in 1876 in Highland Park
1874 but it was Alexander Graham Bell who is credited with inventing the telephone before Elisha Gray came and gave the speech. AGB was dating a blind girl and constructed a hearing aid for her so that she could hear and developed telephony from there. Elisha Gray had the first model of the telephone and submitted his working model before Alexander Graham Bell, although the patents were submitted on the same day. There is valid evidence that Elisha Gray had a working model before AGB. However, Gray saw the telephone as a scientific exercise, not a commercial enterprise. AGB had no working model, so he took the Elisha Gray model and created his own, using EG to construct his model. AGB did not invent the telephone instrument but with the work of EG and others he invented the telephone system and carries the public perception of the invention of both. Because of this EG seldom gets the credit that he deserve for the invention of the instrument.
Elisha Gray was born on August 2, 1835 and died on January 21, 1901. Elisha Gray would have been 65 years old at the time of death or 179 years old today.
Assuming Alexander Graham Bell is given credit for inventing the telephone, his "inspiration" was Elisha Gray.
Bell was accused, and is still accused, of stealing the telephone from Gray, so, I think so. This controversy is more narrow than the broader question of who deserves credit for inventing the telephone, for which there are several claimants.
