Uncle Bud born to Anna M. Gorton and Glen Gorton in 1922. Unlce Bud was mechanic and carpenter and inventor. My mom Marjorie A Condon talk about he was working on invention of television but he didn't know what they called it so he had drawing of a box that could get pictures out of the air like radio waves. He develope the cross cut lawnmower which was built in Lohrville Iowa, One time Bud did some work for Al Capone We was pick up in a Black Car and blind folded until they reach where they was going. Uncle Bud install some type of radio tower for Al Capone and was paid well for his service blind folded and return back home unharm. Uncle Bud work Paul Lobber and was killed by a home-made tar machine, And it exploded in 1947 Bud was badly burn and he lived 72 hours after the explosion before he died. I never met uncle Bud myself as he pass away before I was born.
