along with an image of the application for "veteran" headstone, made by Peter J Moody (a brother ?) from Buffalo, Wright Co, MN on 16 May 1920
- on the "original application" is the name of Moody, Erik J. and so forth. BUT over the name in red ink the card has written "Erik J Modig"
- headstone wasn't ordered and shipped until 1930

BUT who is Peter J Moody ?? - I believe this is Per Jonsson, b 1858, and grandson of Gertrud Jonsdotter b 1800
- Gertrud's second marriage was to Erik Modig
- Gertud's 1st marriage to Jon Persson - they had 4 children:
one Per or Peter Jonsson - used the surname Moody - he had emigrated with his uncle Olof Persson
