He apparently, like several of his brothers, never married. He worked as a Glass Maker but was unemployed as were his brothers in 1940.<br /><br />Herbert is Find A Grave Memorial# 103125815<br /><br />His younger sister, Elsa (Elsie) Anna M Graffenius was born 25 Apr 1893 and died on 8 Feb 1980. She married Carl A. Thoms (1887 - 1949) at the age of 33 and later she was the third wife of Edward H. Groshek Sr. (1901 - 1973). She is Find A Grave Memorial# 122929807. She appears to have never had children.Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-21213466493338432322014-10-04T04:51:46.078-05:002014-10-04T04:51:46.078-05:00It seems to me that Ancestry has a picture looking...It seems to me that Ancestry has a picture looking exactly like this, here:<br />http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gl=ROOT_CATEGORY&rank=1&new=1&so=3&MSAV=1&msT=1&gss=ms_f-2_s&gsfn=herbert+&gsln=graffenius&cpxt=0&catBucket=rstp&uidh=000&cp=0Hans Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02730085789822504806noreply@blogger.com
