Azro resided at Franklin County, VT, and worked at a gristmill for three years before removing to Wisconsin with his brother, Ira. In May of 1856 they left Ripon, WI and journeyed to Blue Earth County, MN in company with several other families. Azro selected his land in what is now Sterling Township, built a log cabin, and began farming. His first wife Marie died in 1860, and Azro married Harriet Eldridge, with whom he had all of his children. On October 10, 1870 Azro was granted a homestead patent for 160 acres in Sterling Township, Section 14. The Azro Annis family was proud of their farm and worked hard at its success. The family all participated in community events, and were associated with the Baptist Church. In his later years Azro lost an eye to cancer and on July 18, 1900 he died from that disease.
