Iver Moe, retired farmer living in Dallas Village, was born in Norway May
8, 1843, and as a young man became a fisherman. In 1880 he came to America
and located at Eau Claire, this state, where he worked in the building
trades. He came to Barron County in 1891 and bought 40 acres in Section 11,

outbuildings, and there successfully farmed until 1906 when he sold and
moved to the village where he now lives. He was married Nov. 13, 1869 in
