Grandpa Walt was married three times. His presumed first wife Irma Enid Allen. She was born about 1906 and died March 18, 1942 in Wenatchee, Chelan Co., WA. Her parents were W. M. Allen and Nina M. Grant. His presumed second wife was Eva E. Gamble. He married her September 24, 1921 in Coeur d'Alene, Kootenai Co., ID. They were divorced by 1926 when she married W. T. Gillaspy on April 10, 1926. I do know that Bernice Joy Blyton was his third and final wife. They were married March 27, 1943 in Chelan Co., WA. They had no children. I am unaware of any children born during the other two marriages. The first two wives may have married him in a different order.

Grandpa Graupman was buried Dec. 7, 1971.
