• Biography: History of Fillmore County, MN, 1912, Fillmore County, MN. MOEN OLE H.
BOOK - HISTORY OF FILLMORE COUNTY, MN., VOLS. 1 & 2, PUBLISHED IN 1912. Ole H. Moen was born in Norway and was brought to America by his parents in 1848, at the age of six years. They lived in Winnebago county, Wisconsin, about six years. After the mother's death Ole H., twelve years old, and his father, Harold Moen, came to Minnesota and bought land in Arendahl township, on the payments of which exorbitant interest was charged. This land was mostly wild prairie, and much hard labor was necessary to prepare it for the raising of general farm crops. On May 4, 1886, Ole H. Moen and his sons moved into Peterson village. At this time there were but two small stores in the town, owned by T. A. Jackson and S. C. Thompson, respectively, the latter's building being purchased by Mr. Moen, who entered the furniture and hardware business. During the fall of the same year A. A. Ness moved to Peterson and bought an unoccupied flour mill, and assisted by the Moen family opened a grain market, which he operated for several years. The failure of this business eventually undermined his health, he and the Moens losing considerable money. Ole H. Moen married Maria O. Kopperud, and they had six children, three of whom are living: Herman, O. A. 0. and Carl R. Ole H. Moen died in May, 1897, and his wife passed away in January, 1905.

Ole married Maria Olsdtr KOPPERUD on 12 May 1868 in Arendahl, Fillmore County, MN.¹ (Maria Olsdtr KOPPERUD was born in Sep 1836 in Norway and died on 20 Jan 1905 in Fillmore County, MN ⁵.) The cause of her death was Apoplexy.
