It's fits even better than you thought, Cecil. Since the family has two other children listed, a daughter Doris and a second daughter, Rosalie, and the census was for the town of Gorin. Combine those facts with a couple of previous articles, and I think you have a match.

I have found a William Henry Ratherford that I believe to be, the brother of Harry Ratherford, but I can not prove it. William Henry Ratherford was born 9 October 1876, and was living in Gorin, Scotland Co., Missouri, on 12 Sept. 1918. His wife was Mary Maud Ratherford. (per the WW 1 draft registration) I have found William H. and Mary M. Ratherford, with daughter Ernestine, and Mary T. Smith, mother-in-law, in the 1910 Harrison Twp., Scotland Co., Missouri census. I have found William, Mary and Ernestine in the same area on the 1920 census. I have found William H., Mary M., and Ernestine in the same area on the 1930 census. Both Harry and William state that their father was born in Tennessee and their mother was born in Missouri. I just found Harry with Nora (Lanora), Lizzie (Elizabeth) and Lanora (Doris L.) Ratherford on the 1900 Harrison Twp., Scotland Co., Missouri census. The next family down is Leige (born Oct 1836, in TN), Liza (wife, born Sept. 1840, in MO), Lizza (daughter, born Jan 1871, in MO) and Will (son, born Oct. 1876, in MO). I believe this is Harry's family, still no proof, but it fits very well. I found Rosalie N. Ratherford (age 27) on the Harrison Twp., Scotland Co., Missouri, 1930 census. Living with her is Doris Conley, sister, age 30. So Kathy it does appear as though the Mrs. Doris Radford is an error in both her marital status and her last name. Enough for now, Ms. Cecil V.
