Is he this one from Swedish Census 1880: Persson, Liss Mats 1830 Father Matsdotter, Anna 1833 Mother - Mats 1862 Child - Anna 1866 Child - Kerstin 1878 Child ---------- Blomqvist, Olof 1858 Father, son-in-law Matsdotter, Brita 1859Mother - Lovisa 1880 Child Persson, Liss Mats Hemmansägare [farm-owner] b. 1830 in Mockfjärd (Kopparbergs län, Dalarna) Man, married, father Heden Mockfjärd (Kopparbergs län, Dalarna) ---------------------------- They are found At Heden number 27, where Liss Mats Persson dies 1884-03-04, in Mockfjärd AI:6 (1874-1883) Image 97 / page 91 (AID: v131034.b97.s91, NAD: SE/ULA/12230). So he would have been buried at the Mockfjärd churchyard, but be aware that Swedish graves are not forever. If no-one renews the lease, the grave-plot will be re-used by a new burial.
