His mother died when he was 2. During his lifetime, he engaged in some farming, was employed by the Burlington railroad & prior to retiring was a carpenter. It's been said (with a laugh), that Rudolph was so profane that some people, even workers, wanted nothing to do with him; that he was irascible & unsmiling & often walked with his hands clasped behind his back. But within the family Rudolph was remembered as a stubborn old German who was quite sweet & kindly & always read at night.
