Rudolph was born to Fredrick and Augusta (Ingebretson) Stoveland on March 28, 1920, on the family farm in Norstog Township, McKenzie County. He was raised on the farm and attended the Shaw Country School. Rudolph raised turkeys to help purchase his farm south of Arnegard. He lived in Watford City and farmed south of Arnegard his entire adult life. He entered the Good Shepherd Home in 2005. Rudolph continued to be a true farmer at heart. He enjoyed talking about his farming days and the current farm economy. Even though his nieces and nephews always called him Uncle Rudolph, he was also known to many as Rudy.
