Poetic Obituaries: [Merle Dean Miles] designed and built a windmill

that captured the wind from every angle to create electricity. He also came up with the idea of balloon tires for dune climbing before another inventor who knew how to market it developed them.

Merle was a poet and song writer. He had the ability to imitate the voices of famous people to his audience's enjoyment. He had a beautiful tenor voice and sang for church and the grange.
