RALPH C. JEANNELLE
A wide-awake, highly-progressive business man whose important industry may well be accepted as indicative of the general prosperity of Stockton, in which it is fortunately located, is Ralph C. Jeannelle, secretary and treasurer of the Peerless Milling Company, of 1040 East Church Street. A typical Hoosier, proud of his early associations, he was born at Elwood, Ind., on October 31, 1895, the son of A.N. and Marie (Phillipp) Jeannelle, both natives of France. His father was a glassmaker by trade, and followed it in Indiana; and having removed to Stockton in 1907, he was for a number of years one of the expert employees of the Stockton Glass Works. Two children sprang from the happy union of Mr. and Mrs. Jeannelle: the daughter became Mrs. Ed. Hess of Stockton, while the youngest child is Ralph C. Jeannelle.
Having finished his schooling in the public institutions of Stockton, Ralph entered the employ of the Peerless Milling Company, where he was given the job of patching grain sacks and sweeping out the mill; and in time he was advanced, first to be shipping clerk, and then bookkeeper. Later he bought a fourth-interest in the business and was made secretary and treasurer; and now he owns a one-half interest.
In the year 1918, and at Stockton, Mr. Jeannelle was united in marriage with Miss Dorothy Waltz, a native of California, who shares with him his social popularity. He belongs to Stockton Lodge No. 218, B.P.O. Elks, and he is also a live wire in the Anteros Club.
