William was the son of Albert and Mary Graboski. His parents were both born in Michigan and lived in the Mecosta area.

William Graboski was the father of Loretta Graboski.
Loretta's mother, Eunice Ward was William's first wife.

1930 Census:
Big Rapids, Mecosta County:

William Graboski 23 William has been married 3 years. He has been a gluer in a furniture factory, but is unemployed at the time.
Eunice Graboski 22
Dorothy Graboski 3
Loretha Graboski 1
Fred Decker 19 is employed with William at the same factory and is actually working at the time of the census.

I have very few details concerning William. I believe William and Eunice divorced sometime after the year of 1930. They would both remarry and apparently go on to lead very separate lives.

In 1940, William is divorced and living alone in Barton Township, Newaygo, Michigan. He is working as an assembler in a factory.

November 3, 1942 William enlists in the Army, World War II. He is now also married again.

Hope to hear more about William and his wife Mabel from friends and family who knew him.
