He was the son of Lars and Julia Peterson Larson. Peter worked in Norway's mines and on its railroad until 1869, when he came to the United States to La Salle County, Illinois. In 1869 he was married to Anna Marie Anderson, also from Norway, at Leland, Illinois. Peter farmed and the couple had nine children: Lewis, Andrew, and Julia, born in Illinois; and Matilda, Mary, Clara, Nettie, Katie and Emma born in Iowa. He dug wells by hand and worked for an English farmer during his first years in America. In 1874 the family went by wagon train to Iowa, crossing the Mississippi river at Davenport, Iowa. The wagon train disbanded in Adams county, Iowa. Peter rented a farm in a Norwegian settlement west of Corning, Iowa.
