Ruldoph was the youngest of seven children. When he was four years old, his mother died. His father Christian was married a second time to Anna Barbara Brechbuehl a little over a year later and they went on to have four more children.
Christian Haenni and most members of his family joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while in Switzerland. He, with his second wife came to America in the early 1870's. The family, along with other Swiss, emigrated to Midway, Utah. The beautiful area overlooked Utah Lake and reminded them a little bit of home.
Rudolph became a farmer by trade and remained a bachelor his entire life, burying his parents, step-mother, siblings, and all but one step-sibling along the way.
By the time Rudolph was 73, he resided in Saint Anthony, Idaho and had some health issues like asthma and chronic myocarditis, an infection or inflammation of the heart.
It is not known why Rudolph was being cared for at the Idaho State Hospital South in Blackfoot at the time of his death. (Double click photo of death certificate at upper right to enlarge.)
