Anyone know who the parents are of Mrs. Roy Lessly? Her maiden name was Elizabeth Ratherford. Carole Brace

Carole, I show Roy Lessly as George Leroy "Roy" Lessly. I have found an Elizabeth A. Ratherford, born about 1899, daughter of Harry S. (born about 1863 in Missouri) and Elanore C. (born about 1874 in Missouri) Ratherford on the 1920 Scotland Co., Harrison Twp., Missouri, Census. Elizabeth is shown as a grade school teacher. This family is also on the 1910 census, same area. Harry S. Ratherford is on the 1930 census, same area, and shown as a widower. I do not know if this is the correct family, but everything I have found fits very well. Please let me know if you find information that proves, or disproves, my theory. Good luck, Cecil V.
