funerals: image 1196, 1st side; 27 May 1899 at age 80 years, 7 months, 1 days; funeral on 29 May 1899

c. Jons Erickson b 2 Oct 1818 and wife Kaijsa (born Halstenson) b 8 Mar 1827 in Östmark; Membership; image 855, 964
received at Stockholm Lutheran Church: 28 Jun 1883; Arrived in US 1867 and at "this place" 1867; [not recorded in 1st batch]
son Edvard, b 8 Oct 1866 in Östmark; confirmed 13 May 1883 in Moores Prairie
son David, b 1872 at Moores Prairie; confirmed 7 Apr 1889 [but his birth is only recorded as 1872]

Conclusion: From the record above and the 1875 MN State Census, we can conclude that the family did not attend church prior to 1872 (even though David was born at Moores Prairie); OR they had joined a different church when they first came to the Moores Prairie area
