Notes for Dennis Wayne (Spouse 1)
Dennis lived for nearly 30 years at the 40 acre Morelli family home located at 14640 Morelli Lane, about two miles north of Occidental, California. In 1900, there was 28 acres of vineyard and a winery located on the property, but by 1950 all that was left was about 10 acres of vineyard, 8 acres of apples, 2 acres of peaches between the house and the road, 10 acres of hayfield east of the house, and 10 acres of timber and pastureland. The top two floors of the 3-story winery had been converted to a dwelling for chickens. A large two-story house located about 150 feet southwest of the main house was torn down in 1952 by Dennis and his brother, John.
In 2009, Dennis applied for and was granted Swiss citizenship, assigned to the town of Gordevio where his grandfather was born.
