Sharpsburg Farmer Dies Suddenly 
Heart Attack Fatal To Omer Ratliff 
   Omer Ratliff, 76, wealthy and widely known farmer of Sharpsburg, 
died at his home Wednesday night of a heart attack.  Mr. Ratliff, it 
was said, had been on the cattle market at Mt. Sterling part of the 
day Wednesday and was in his usual good health until shortly after 
supper, when he suffered a slight attack from which he apparently 
recovered.  Later in the evening he suffered a second attack from 
which he failed to rally. 
   One of the largest land owners in the county, Mr. Ratliff was 
well known in this section of the state.  He came of an old and 
highly respected Bath county family, widely connected throughout 
central Kentucky. 
   He is survived by one son, Willie Ray Ratliff, Sharpsburg, and 
two brothers, Allie Ratliff, Mt. Sterling, and W. J. Ratliff, Sharpsburg. 
   Funeral services will be held at the residence Friday afternoon, 
June 16, at 2 o'clock.  Interment will take place in the family lot 
in Crown Hill Cemetery.
