After his father's death in 1906 he bought eighty acres of it, which he later sold, and in 1918 purchased his present farm of forty acres in section 9, Oak Grove Township. He has improved the buildings, cleared and stumped several additional acres, repaired the fences, and purchased new equipment. He now successfully carries on general farming and dairying. He is favorably regarded by all who know him and he and his family are in excellent standing in the community. Mr. Stodola was married June 2, 1915, to Caroline Posta, born in Allegheny, Penn., daughter of Anton and Caroline (Herbolt) Posta, now residing in this township.
