He has made good use of his opportunities since arriving at manhood, and the prosperity that has come to him is from his own efforts. He was born in Volynia, western Russia, January 29, 1892, a son of Julius and Julia (Friedmann) Rode, also natives of Russia. The father brought his family to the United States from Russia in 1902 and first settled at Orlando, Oklahoma, where he bought a quarter-section of land on which he farmed for three years, and in 1905 brought his family to California. Rudolph E. Rode went to school for a short time in Russia and when the family settled in Oklahoma he went to school for three years; then when he came to San Joaquin County he attended the Liberty district school. Rudolph remained at home with his folks until 1912, when he went to San Francisco and there took a six months' course in a business college, then returned to Lodi, where he became a clerk for Beckman, Welch & Thompson, remaining with them for four years; he then worked for the Standard Oil Company for a year. On February 15, 1916, in Lodi, Mr. Rode was married to Miss Bertha A. Bender, a native of Monno, South Dakota, and a daughter of John K. and Christina (Bender) Bender, farmer folk in their native land of Russia, who migrated to the United States in 1903, and later came to California. They were the parents of four children: Charles J.; John A.; Margaret, Mrs. Henry Bender; and Bertha A. (Bender) Rode. The father passed away in 1916 and the mother passed in 1906 at their home in Lodi. Mr. and Mrs. Rode have two children, Ruth and Donald, and they are members of the Lutheran Church in Lodi. In 1920 Mr. Rode purchased his present ranch on the Lincoln Highway about five miles southwest of Lodi, consisting of sixty acres of grain land; here he built a fine bungalow and has fifteen acres in alfalfa, thirty-five acres in vineyard and the remaining ten acres is used for grain raising; he has a six-inch pump for irrigation which throws sufficient water for the proper irrigation of his land.
