Ai was a successful stock raiser and farmer in Nebraska. His story is told in COMPENDIUM OF HISTORY, REMINISCENCE AND BIOGRPAHY OF WESTERN NEBRASKA [op.cit.], pp. 1038-39.
From the time he was ten years of age, Ai made "his own way" in the world. His father, Abraham, died when Ai was only five, and his mother re-married in 1861, when Ai was 14. As a young man, he worked hard, sometimes without pay, and attended school during the winter months. In 1865, he went to Oregon, where he lived 6 years, then returned to Washington County, Iowa, for a brief time.
In 1872, he took up a homestead in Red Cloud, Webster County, Nebraska, upon which he started a farming operation. He and Ellen and family lived there until 1884, when, due to his declining health, they moved north to Hay Springs, Sheridan County, Nebraska. That over-300-mile trip north took from 30 May to 4 July. Then, it was necessary for Ai to travel to the town of Valentine, Nebraska (a round-trip of over 200 miles), in order to file a claim for land. In 1884, there was no railroad and no town closer than Valentine. There in Hay Springs, they resumed farming, while living in a tent. After several years of failing crops, he turned to raising stock animals. Eventually, his farm encompassed 640 acres, much of which was given to raising wheat.
In the article about Ai, it states that he "has seen his share of the hard times in a new country and does not want any more frontier life. He is satisfied with what he has accomplished and would not care to go east to live."
