UPDATE (30 Jul 2018): Roslyn and I traveled to Iowa City and also attended the Nordic Fest in Decorah. I was helping Mom clean out some of her old files and pictures and as I was going through them I struck genealogical gold–a copy of a picture of Webjørn as an older man.

When I visited my parents in Dec 2014, we took a drive up to Decorah and visited several area cemeteries. I was able to get another shot of Webjorn and Pauline's gravestone. Unfortunately it is getting difficult to read.

On June 3, 2018, Vince and Verla Williams were in Decorah and went out to Glenwood to put flowers on some of the graves. It appeared that some maintenance or cleaning had been done to the Webjørnson stone. Dad took a picture of it and then Mom got a picture of Dad standing beside the gravestone.
