Rudolph Tueller, who now resides on a valuable fifty-acre ranch bordering the Meridian road, a paved highway, his place being pleasantly and conveniently located five miles west of Boise, is of Swiss birth. He first opened his eyes to the light of day on the 12th of October, 1870, in the land of the Alps, and was one of a family of ten sons and two daughters whose parents were Jacob and Margaret (Kunz) Tueller. The entire family came to the United States, although all did not come at the same time. The first to cross the Atlantic was Christian Tueller, an elder brother of Rudolph Tueller, now living in Bear Lake county, Idaho, and who made the voyage to the new world in 1874. Rudolph Tueller and his brother Edward came to the new world with an uncle in 1880; and Edward Tueller also became a resident of Bear Lake county, where he passed away in 1917. It was in 1883 that the parents came to the United States and eventually all of the family were residents of Bear Lake county, Idaho, the father and mother passing away there in the town of Paris. Three of the sons are still in that county and Rudolph Tueller also resided there from 1880 until the fall of 1919, when he sold his ranch near Montpelier and removed to Ada county. In Bear Lake county it was a dry farming proposition and the crop failures were frequent. The severe drought of the summer of 1919 followed in the wake of previous dry seasons and he felt that he must seek more advantageous conditions. Accordingly he sold his property there and removed to the splendidly irrigated Boise valley, where drought can no longer worry him. Here he secured fifty acres of land west of Boise, this being one of the best located ranches in the valley — about midway between Boise and Meridian and bordering a well paved road. He made purchase of the property for three hundred and twenty-five dollars per acre, and although he has owned it scarcely more than a year, he could sell it for four hundred dollars per acre. One feature of the place is a five-acre prune orchard just coming into bearing, having been planted five years ago. It is one of the prettiest small orchards in Ada county, of level ground, straight rows and evenly developed trees, and the progressive spirit of Mr. Tueller is manifest in the excellent appearance of his place, which is characterized by neatness and orderliness.

Mr. Tueller has been married twice. He first wedded Rose Sutter, who died leaving five children: Millie, the wife of Martin Teuscher, of Bear Lake county; Oliver R., a veteran of the World war, who was seriously wounded in the battle of Chateau Thierry and was brought back to the United States on a stretcher but has now recovered and is at home; Viola, who married Fred Schoss and later passed away leaving two children; and Dora and Lena, who are at home. On the 8th of October, 1908, Mr. Tueller was married to Mrs. Emma Ferber nee Linck, who was born in Switzerland and was reared in the same town as her husband, attending the same school. She first became the wife of Bernhart Ferber, who died leaving two children: Charles B., who took the name of his stepfather and who served in the World war, doing duty in Siberia, where he contracted a fatal Illness, passing away in a hospital at San Francisco, March 21, 1920; and Helen, who also took the name of Tueller and is now the wife of Lewis George Schlerf, living in the same neighborhood as Mr. and Tueller. Her husband also is a veteran of the World war, having served in France for nine months.

Mr. Tueller and his family are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and he formerly served as bishop's counselor for three years when in Bear Lake county, was also superintendent of the Sunday school in his ward for twenty years and has always been active in the work of the church. His political allegiance is given to the republican party and he keeps well informed on the vital questions and issues of the day. He has never had occasion to regret his determination to come to the new world, for here he found the opportunities which he sought and in their improvement has made steady progress.
