After ten years employment as a ship carpenter and engineer, Asa Kidder moved in 1857 to Minnesota, at the time but sparsely inhabited except by Indians who were not always peaceably inclined. He settled in the small town of Farmington, far removed from railroads, and almost beyond the limits of civilization, and here for two years he lived in a rudely constructed shanty, enduring all the hardships and privations of old time pioneer life. In 1859 he removed to Dunn County, Wisconsin, where he had charge of a large boarding house, and in 1869 he returned to Minnesota, settling at Farm Hill, Olmstead County. He was a Republican, and served there for some years as Postmaster. His religious affiliations were Universalist.
