Ahnentafel of Joseph Turelle
--- 1st Generation ---
1. Joseph1 Turelle was also known as Joseph Tupperella.
Joseph Turelle was born in Michigan (probably).
Joseph married Dorothy A Larremore, daughter of John Martin Larremore and Annie Belle Jennings. Joseph and Dorothy were married circa 1935 in Michigan?
Joe worked directly for the Secretary of Agriculture of the United States. One of his projects I remember the most is the windmills you see near Palm Springs. This system of windmills is referred to as "wind generation". The windmills produce enough energy to supply the entire Palm Springs and Coachella Valley. It is said that this was his idea. We speculate that the idea came to him while visiting either Larry Larremore, (his wife's brother) or his stepdaughter, Dorothy Laverne Gibbs; and driving through the always windy San Gorgonio Pass.
Joseph Turelle died on November 10, 1996. He was buried in Fayetteville, Washington County, Arkansas.
