I found it interesting that you were seeking information about a Grafton Bernard, it is not a common name, both my grandfather and uncle were named Grafton Bernard. My grandfather died in AZ in 1989, he was born in 1904, he was the son of Elmer Bergetha Bernard, he had one sister, Gertrude who died as a child. He had 3 children, Grafton (1924-1982), Paula (Duelly) and Ernest Ellsworth Bernard, my father.
