Dess, Louis, Ilion, was born in Alsace May 1, 1846.  He came to America in 
1849.  He began the gun trade with his father, and was subsequently in the 
army. He was with the Hammond Typewriter for some time, and has been three 
years with the Typewriter company, for which he has been superintendent this 
long time.  He is the inventor of an aligner of great utility, performing what 
was long contended could be done only by hand.  Several other devices and 
improvements on typewriters are to be credited to him.
