The writing on the stone looks faked. Probably a creation in the 1800s.

I would hazard a guess that this stone was inscribed at around the same time so many "Viking rune stones" were being "discovered" in America. It is interesting how some of the most famous rune stones were discovered in areas were Scandanavians settled in the 1800s.
