When twelve years of age Mrs. Rudolph came to Decorah to live and since that time she has resided here almost continuously On October 5th. 1887, she was united in marriage to Edward Rudolph. To them one son was born who, with the husband, mother, two sisters and three brothers, survive her. Mrs. Rudolph was a sincere Christian woman and a devoted wife and mother. While the illness which immediately preceded her death was of short duration, and was partially the collapse following the operation, she had not been in good health for a year past and for a number of weeks she had suffered exceedingly. The funeral was held Monday afternoon at the residence and the remains were interred in the Phelps cemetery.
