211:. He remained single but shared his home with a widowed cousin of his mother and her two children whom he later adopted. Thévenin consulted several scholars well known at that time, and controversy arose as to whether his law was consistent with the facts or not. He died in Paris. Shortly before his death he was visited by a friend, J. B. Pomey, and was surprised to hear that his theorem had been accepted all over the world. In 1926, he was taken to Paris for treatment. He left a formal request that no one should accompany him to the cemetery except his family and that nothing be placed on his coffin but a rose from his garden. This is how he was buried at Meaux. Thévenin is remembered as a model engineer and employee, hard-working, of scrupulous morality, strict in his principles but kind at heart. 438: 243:(Troisieme série), vol. 10, pages 222–224. Subsequently, added a footnote, changed the title, and published an article as: L. Thévenin (1883) "Sur un nouveau théorème d’électricité dynamique" , 193:, which made it possible to calculate currents in more complex electrical circuits and allowing people to reduce complex circuits into simpler circuits called Thévenin's equivalent circuits. 171: 308: 247:, vol. 97, pages 159–161. Long before Johnson published a paper, a note with faithful English translation of the full text, excluding footnote, was published as: 458: 478: 178: 31: 204:, Paris. In 1896, he was appointed Director of the Telegraph Engineering School, and then in 1901, Engineer in chief of the telegraph workshops. 468: 463: 442: 473: 291:
