During the winter, which he and Mrs. Sudderberg spent in Des Moines, he suffered a stroke of paralysis shortly before he came to his home here. Since then he has had several strokes and has gradually grown weaker until death relieved him.

During the year 1920 they moved to Stratford which has since been their home. He was a member of the South Marion Methodist Church for many years during the time he lived on a farm, southeast of Stratford.
