Ole Moseng, for over forty-three years a resident of Section 32, Arland
Township, was born in Norway, attended school there, grew to manhood, and
married Bertha Troan. They came to America in 1871, landed at Quebec, and
found their way to Perry, Wis. where they remained for over a year. From
there they came to Menomonie where he entered the employ of Knapp, Stout &
Co., working in the lumber camps and on the river drives. In 1875, he came
to Barron County, and took a homestead of 80 acres in Section 32, Arland
Township. This was all wild land. He blazed a trail to his place, through
the woods, built a log cabin, and there established his family. For many
seasons he continued to work in the woods to get a little money to keep
things going while he could get things well started on the farm. Gradually
he built up a good place, and he and his wife became respected and
substantial people. In 1896 he turned the place over to his son, Charles
E., but continued to live there until his death. He died Dec. 15, 1918, and
his wife June 12, 1916.
