In 1915, Dr. D.K. Briggs of Blackville, South Carolina, declared 30-year-old Essie Dunbar dead after an apparent epilepsy attack. She was buried the following morning, but her sister in the neighbouring town couldn’t get there until after the coffin had been lowered into the ground.

The mother of Mike Nesmith from The Monkees invented liquid paper, while working as an executive secretary at a bank in 1951. She initially covered typing mistakes with paint, but after perfecting the formula, she offered it to IBM but they passed, so she started marketing it herself and did well out of it. She eventually sold the rights to Gillette in 1979 for $47.5m plus future royalties.
