Night watchman. He was a watchman at Garfingel's Junk Yard in Houston at the time of his WWII draft registration record. The informant for his death certificate was his son, Earl Franklin Bratcher.

B. F. Bratcher married Carra "Carrie" Price, daughter of Wiley F. and Mary Price, on March 24, 1897 in Ellis County, Texas. It appears that Carrie Bratcher may have died on May 22, 1910 in Era, Cooke, Texas.

He married Minnie? from Missouri after Carrie's death.

He is listed as Ben J Bratcher in 1900, Ellis Co, Texas and B Frank Bratcher in 1910 and 1920, Dallas, Texas. His draft registration records and his death certificate all just show his name as Frank Bratcher.

He was divorced at the time of his death.

His first child, Tommie Atlas Bratcher, died in Los Angeles on July 2, 1954.

His second child, Lillian Bratcher (1902- 15 Jul 1911), died in Dallas and is buried in Italy, Texas, per her death certificate, probably in Italy Cemetery, where there are a number of Bratcher and Price relatives. Her mother Carrie is probably buried there as well, since her parents are there.

His third child, Earl Franklin Bratcher, died in Corpus Christi in 1950. His death certificate says removal to Houston. He was married to Lona Inez Collier.

Daughters, Doris Lee and Clara, were born about 1910 and 1913.
