He is also survived by Caroline Clark of the home, who has been a faithful loving, companion these last few years. Rudolph was proceeded in death by his parents, an infant brother and his second wife Rose Begtohl Entlicher. Rudolph was a humble man who had a quiet love for his family. He attended Hickory Point School until eight grade at which time he began helping his mother full time to farm. He assumed responsibility at an early age due to the death of his father before he was born. His sacrifices were great for his family as his desire was to leave a farming legacy for his children and grandchildren. He was a farmer all his life and loved raising cattle. Early in his life he started a dairy and later raised beef cattle. One of his greatest pleasures was checking his cattle, which he did about three weeks before his death. Rudolph attended Bolivar Assembly of God church. His faith in the Lord and Jesus as his Savior sustained him through many difficult times in his life.
