Lars Hansen Knudsen was born October 1, 1848 at Bildeneiet in Tingelstad, Hadeland, Norway to Hans Knudsen and Aase Larsdatter, the second of their six children. Lars left Norway with his parents and older sister in June 1850 to emigrate to America. They were on a ship for about two weeks, landing at New York City.
