He was born in Rutland County, Vermont, 22 December 1857. He came with the family to Dakota Territory, arriving in April 1865, and settled on a homestead six miles north of Elk Point, just south of Fort Brule. He grew to manhood near the village of Richland, where he taught school during the winters and helped with farm work in the summer months. He also taught school in Plymouth County, Iowa. He first came to Turner County, Dakota Territory, where he also taught school, in 1873, but it was not until five years later that he settled on a claim in Germantown Township in Turner County. He married Lillie Luella Ervin, also a teacher, on the Ervin homestead in Middleton, South Dakota, 29 December 1878. "The following spring they built their first frame house on the claim. Mr. Stoddard hauled the framing timbers and sheathing lumber from Stough's Mill six miles south of Elk Point, a distance of 60 miles. He hauled shingles and siding from Sioux Falls, 30 miles away. They were so poor [that] they did not own a cow, but Mrs. Stoddard's grandmother loaned them a cow the first summer and the following winter Mr. Stoddard taught a neighborhood school in their own home furnishing fuel (hay) and boarding himself at $15 per month for three months and in so doing paid for their first cow. They had no chairs, so used nail kegs instead. Mr. Stoddard broke many acres of prairie sod with oxen, planted many trees, some planted in 1873.... Mr. Stoddard often recalls the Indian raid in Union County in August 1865, when Ed La Mour was killed, T.C. Watson and Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher wounded, and their horses taken by three Sioux Indians". In 1883 he filed on a homestead in Middleton Township where they resided until 1903, when they moved to Parker, South Dakota, after 25 years of farming. In Parker, he was in the insurance and real estate business. Kelsey died 27 September 1944, and Lillie Luella died 4 March 1950. They are buried in the Rosehill Cemetery northwest of Parker.
