Rudy was born on June 18, 1908 to Joseph H. and Catherine (Willembring) Lammers. He lived west of Hartington in the Lammers Ranch area all of his life where he farmed. Rudy's education was mostly at the Lammers Ranch School, a year in Fordyce to get a religious education so he could make his First Holy Communion. Rudy attended Trinity High School and an accounting school in Sioux City and proceeded on to Lincoln where he received his diploma in Auto and Tractor School in 1929. Throughout his school years, he received many awards for his meticulous penmanship and spelling. Rudy married Rose J. Arens on January 5, 1932 in Hartington. To this union, seven children were born.
