Do you know who your Lee Ratliff's folks were. We have a Lee that kind of up and disappeared on us and he was in Texas, Oklahoma but may have gone on to Cripple Creek, Colo. around the turn of the Century. Lee was born, we think 1858 to 1861. Making him in his 30's about the time frame you speak of, but if he were like his other brothers marrying at 30 was not uncommon.
