Fred RATH eloped with Elizabeth Jane "Lizzie" SMITH (born JAN 16, 1882 Marshal Co., IL) on SEP 15, 1900 near Eldorado, Nebraska. I don't know if they ever had any children. They lived in Arnold, Custer Co., NE in 1935 and in Los Angeles, CA in 1937. I believe she had died before 1974 but I have no death or burial information for either one of them. Would like to know. I have a photo of them, they are distant relatives.
