Joseph was a metallurgist employed by Lyon and Conklyn. He invented the first lighting machine but did not have it patented. A friend, who was also working on one, examined Joseph, corrected his own model and had his model patented. The story of the stolen invention was written up in the Baltimore Sunpapers. Joseph was bedridden the last 15 years of his life with multiple sclerosis.
