image 23: Nels Alstermark, b 13 Feb 1855 at Lekvattnet parish, Värmland; to America in 1880; came from Cokato
wife: Mary Astermark, b 10 Aug 1846 at Östmark; married 1910; from Cokato
** actually Maria Christoffersdotter

BUT: 12 Feb 2021 - I reviewed births in Lekvattnet parish and there is no record of a birth on this date; But there is a birth record at Lekvattnet parish for 13 Feb 1854 for Nils Pärsson, born outside of marriage (the father is not recorded) - And this is records notes that the mother is Marit Nilsdotter age 28 at Långsjöhåden and this Marit is in fact the wife of Halsten Erikson b 1832 and emigrated in 1870 to Cokato Twp, Wright Co - see his research notes - I have recorded his family in Sweden and the US, but I haven't found her son in connection with Halsten Erikson's family in the US - see Halsten Erickson-Marit Nilsdotter research note pages.
Note that the gravemarker at Findagrave records birth as 1854 and the notes on findagrave, record his birth as 13 Feb 1854.
MNHS death records note is death as 16 Sept 1933 [1933-MN-006768] but does not record a birth date.

I can't find any records in the US that allows for a definitive proof that the above Nels Alstermark and Nils Person (Pehrsson or Pärsson) are the same person, but I think they are the same persons. I have noted some more information on NIls Person, b 13 Feb 1854 - see Marit Nilsdotter, b 1826
