<div class="content">
<ul>
<li>July 10th, 1856: Tesla's Birth:<br>
Tesla was born "at the stroke of midnight" with lightning striking during a summer storm. He was born to a Serbian family in Smiljan near Gospić, Lika, (the Military Frontier of Austria-Hungary, now in Croatia). The midwife commented, "He'll be a child of the storm," to which his mother replied, "No, of light." Tesla was baptized in the Old Slavonic Church rite. His Baptism Certificate reports that he was born on June 28 (Julian calendar; July 10 in the Gregorian calendar) 1856, and christened by the Serbian orthodox priest, Toma Oklobdžija.<br><br></li>
<li>1862: Tesla Family Moves To Gospić:<br>
Tesla's father receives appointment as pastor to a church in Gospić where the family moves and Tesla completes "Lower" or "Primary" School and then attends "Lower Real Gymnasium" or "Normal School" followed then by the "Real Gymnasium."<br><br></li>
<li>1863: Tesla's Older Brother Dies:<br>
Death of older and only brother Dane at age 12 after falling from a horse. Some accounts indicate Tesla caused the accident by spooking the horse.<br><br></li>
<li>1870: Tesla Moves To Karlovac:<br>
Tesla moves to Karlovac (Carlstadt), Croatia and stays with his aunt and Col. "Old War-Horse" Branković. He attends "Higher Real Gymnasium" where teacher Martin Sekulić teaches him math and physics and has a decisive influence on him. Tesla graduates Gimnazije Karlovac a year early.<br><br></li>
<li>1873: Tesla Contracts Cholera<br>
Tesla returns to Gospić in spite of his father's instructions otherwise. Shortly after arriving he contracts Cholera. He is bedridden for 9 months and was near death many times. Tesla's father, in a moment of desperation, agreed to send him to an engineering school if he recovered from the illness.<br><br></li>
<li>1874: Tesla Eludes Army Service<br>
Tesla went to Tomingaj near Gračac to recover from Cholera and avoid the Army, from which he was a fugitive, due to required a compulsory three-years' service. Tesla later stated, "For most of this term I roamed in the mountains, loaded with a hunter's outfit and a bundle of books, and this contact with nature made me stronger in body as well as in mind."<br><br></li>
<li>September, 1875: Tesla Attends College In Graz
Tesla enrolled at the Austrian Polytechnic School in Graz on a Military Border scholarship. In his first year, Tesla never missed a lecture, made the highest grades possible and started a Serbian culture club. During his second year, Tesla came into conflict with Professor Poeschl over the Gramme dynamo when he suggested that commutators weren't necessary. At the end of the second year, Tesla lost his scholarship and took up gambling. Near the end of the third year, Tesla stopped attending lectures and dropped out the following year.<br><br></li>

<li>January 8th, 1943: Maid Finds Tesla Dead<br>
Tesla had placed a "do not disturb" sign on his door on January 5th, 1943. Ignoring the sign, maid Alice Monaghan entered the room to find Tesla dead in his bed. Assistant Medical Examiner H. W. Wembly was called to the scene and after examination of the body, gave his opinion that the cause of death had been coronary thrombosis and that there had been no suspicious circumstances. Tesla's body was taken to the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home at Madison Ave. and 81st St. A sculptor was commissioned by Hugo Gernsback, a long-time friend and supporter of Tesla, to create a death mask which is now displayed in the Nikola Tesla Museum.<br><br><br></li>
