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