My Grandfather, William Ben Dowless of Abbottsburg, NC, was awarded patent no. 2,223,301 on Nov 26, 1940. His invention related to an improved means for drying tobacco that revolutionized tobacco curing in the southeast. I have copies of his patent. What is the process to get his invention recognized in NCpedia?
