Re: 1870 US census .... and then a comment:
"Lives with his grandmother, Gertrud [Gertrud Jonsdotter, b 1800], and step grandfather [Erik J Modig, b 1821].
Before 1880 census, his grandmother lives with [his] Aunt Mary and her husband Monteith, but no mention of Peter. His father returned to Sweden and his mother soon dies"
[his father - Jon Jonsson, 1825-1897 ; his mother, Maria Persdotter, 1829-1870/1880 ]

  Noted events in his life were:

1. Death - proven 1943; 1926: Peter's death, 1943; Christine's death 1926: Hennepin Co, Minnesota, United States. Minnesota Historical Society's "death certicificates" provide direct evidence for the date or death for both Peter and Christine's death in Hennepin Co, likely Minneapolis.This information is supported by the "obituary/funeral notices" in the Minneapolis newspapers, as well as, the information from the Moody Family Tree on Ancestry.

2. Burial, 1943 and 1926: Peter and Christine's burial: Crystal Lake Cemetery, Minneapolis, Hennepin Co, Minnesota, United States. The "obituary/funeral notices" for both Peter and Christine Moody note that internment was at Crystal Lake Cemetery in Minneapolis. I have searched but I have not found a record on Findagrave, Billion Graves or Interment.net, nor have I found any listing of burials at Crystal Lake Cemetery [26 May 2022]. The burials for Peter and Christine at Crystal Lake Cemetery is supported by the Moody Family Tree comments.

NOTE: Findagrave.com posts a record [and a grave marker photo] for a person named Peter J Moody [id id, 37035428] at Union Cemetery, Four Corners, Burnett Co, Wisconsin. The dates for Peter correspond but the date of death for Christine is in 1944. Additionally, except for Alice Mathilda Moody Lewis, the children are not the children of my cousin, Peter J and Christine Moody. There is a photo of the grave marker, but it is badly weathered and taken in shade. But if you enlarge the photo of the grave marker, you can make out the name of "father" as "Peter" and the dates 1862-1940, and the name of "mother" as "Christine" and the dates 1861-1944. Clearly the grave marker is recorded other people and NOT my cousin Peter J Moody and his wife Christine.

From my research, there is another person named Peter [J] Moody with his wife named Christine. See my research notes under Peter Jonson Moody.

Peter married Christina Persdotter Strandberg on 21 Apr 1881 in Cokato, Wright Co, Minnesota, United States.⁹³⁶¹ (Christina Persdotter Strandberg was born on 1 Mar 1861 in Vitsand, Värmland län, Sweden, died on 13 Oct 1926 in Hennepin Co, Minnesota, United States ^9365,9366 and was buried in Crystal Lake Cemetery, Minneapolis, Hennepin Co, Minnesota, United States.)
