Sofus Moe, manager of the Northern Supply Company warehouse of Dallas, was
born June 21, 1873, in Norway, son of Iver and Dorothea (Iverson) Moe. He
came to America with his parents in 1884 and after attending school in Eau
Claire, graduated from the business department of Valparaiso University at
Valparaiso, Ind. In 1900 he and Harry Halverson started a general
mercantile store of which, six years later, Mr. Moe became the sole owner.
In 1912 he sold out and for a while operated a general store at Eliston,
Mont. Then he returned and took up his present employment. In 1915 he
bought 95 acres in Sections 14 and 15, Dallas Township, erected a fine set
of buildings and established a dairy farm. He owns all the stock and
machinery but rents the place to others. For three years he was secretary
and treasurer of the Dallas Co-operative Creamery. In public life he has
been town clerk three years and village clerk three years. Mr. Moe was
married January 15, 1913, to Anna Granum, who was born May 19, 1884,
daughter of Anton and Regneld (Berg) Granum.
