| Info | William Seward Burroughs I (January 28, 1857 - September 14, 1898) was an American inventor, born in Rochester, New York.
Initially a bank clerk, he invented a "calculating machine" designed to ease the monotony of clerical work. He was a founder of the American Arithmometer Company (1886), which later became the Burroughs Adding Machine Company (1904), then finally the Burroughs Corporation (1953). He was the grandfather of William S. Burroughs the Beat Generation writer, and great-grandfather of William S. Burroughs, Jr., also a writer.
He died in Citronelle, Alabama and was interred in Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis, Missouri.
