| Charley and Cora’s family with Mary Ellen Turpin Estlack |
Charley Turpin was the first child in Robert Newton Turpin's second family. He was born 6 July 1874 in Iowa. He came with his parents to Nebraska at a very young age.
Charley's first wife was Cora Mae Miller, the only child of Margaret Ann Vert and Tom A. Miller, and granddaughter of Thomas and Rebecca Vert. The Miller family lived just above the Turpins on the Niobrara River. Charley and Cora were married about 1895. Their children were: Anna Eudora, Robert, Earl Elvin, Laura Edna, and Susie Adella.

In the 1900 and 1910 censuses Charley is shown farming. The 1920 lists his occupation as a farmer and blacksmith.

Charley died 2 Dec 1923 in Stuart, Holt County, Nebraska and is buried in the Willowdale Cemetery in Rock County, Nebraska. Zelia remarried later to a Mr. Braun.
I know there are living descendents from both of Charley's families but I've only been in touch with one.
