Kelly, I have a copy of an old "Canadian Record" newspaper article, dated Thursday, October 2, 1941, that states W.C. (Billy) Ratliff, First Hemphill Sheriff, Died At Higgins On Tuesday.You might contact the Lipscomb County Texas Clerks Office, as they should have a copy of his death certificate on file.Higgins is located in Lipscomb County, the next county north of Hemphill County.
I found the article in the Canadian Library.It lists survivors as two brothers, W.D. Ratliff, J.A. Ratliff and one sister, Mrs. Charles Davis.He was preceded in death by his wife and two children.Funeral services were held at the First Methodist Church.Burial was in local cemetary.
