Message: [QUOTE="Shenexon, post: 3015476, member: 129"] There seem to be a lot of Cannon family names from Niagara Falls in that era but I've found nothing to connect the Will Alban Cannon that founded what would become CannonDesign and Edward J. Cannon. I did find reference to Edward J. as president of the Syracuse University Alumni Association, Niagara Chapter, in the early 1920s. I find it interesting that he chose to pursue electrical engineering during the era that Tesla & Westinghouse were building power plants in Niagara Falls and electrifying the Buffalo area. Certainly the electrical wonders on display at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo in 1901 could have inspired him to that career. I'm thinking that was an exciting time to be working with electricity... [ATTACH type="full" alt="162654"]162654[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
