Does anyone know anything biographical (more than the minimal information that can be readily found in Wikipedia and IMDd) about silent movies teen actor HOWARD RALSTON, who was born in Bar Harbor, Maine on 25 July 1904 and died in Los Angeles, CA on 1 June 1992? He performed in a small number of movies from 1920 to 1924. An excellent and charming featured performance that he gave was of child Jimmy Bean in the wonderful 1920 Mary Pickford classic "Polyanna."

What I'd especially value is Mr. Ralston's obituary, if anyone might have a copy of it or be able to locate it. I'd greatly appreciate a scanned or transcribed copy of it. One of the things I'm trying to determine is precisely where Mr. Ralston is buried (if his remains weren't cremated). Anyone who might have any information, I will be most grateful. Thank you.

Best regards,

Dave Wilson
