In 1917 Ambrose married Katherine Brand, a local farm girl, and together they built both a family and a farm.  They remained life-long partners in very successful ventures, which included raising a eight children and expanding the farm and ranch to include a modern home, outbuildings, equipment and new acreage.  They achieved this through hard work, diligent record keeping, a frugal lifestyle and a deep Catholic faith.  The land passed down to Bonnie Blach and Annabelle Blach Perlenfein and is now under ownership of their nieces and nephews through the NB5, LLC.  Dryland wheat and proso millet are now grown on a spread that covers 2,744 acres.  Several historic buildings, including a 1912 farmhouse, 1915 milk barn and 1931 grain elevator, are still in use.
