Peder Moe was born on September 28, 1858, in Hafslo, Norway. In 1864, at about the age of six, he came to America with his parents, Peter Olsen Moe and Anna Augundsdatter Lad and several siblings. They first went to Black Earth, Wisconsin and then settled on Section One in the northeast corner of the Town of Blue Mounds and just north of what would eventually become the Village of Mount Horeb.
