Born in 1865, in Austin, Texas, Tom was orphaned at an early age. His father, a blacksmith, died when Tom was four years of age. At eight he was left an orphan, and went to live with his uncle. By the age of twelve he was on his own. He joined cattle drives with the cowboys, when stock were pastured as far as Texas, to the Montana border. In 1886 he married Lizzie Bullock in Texas and it was their intention to raise cotton. Tom’s brother, John had settled near Macleod in the Porcupine Hills, and he persuaded the couple to move here and take up a homestead and preemption. Tom planned to raise cattle and horses. He wintered cattle for the old Waldron Ranch and later acquired a nice sized herd of his own. Though he suffered losses from loco weed for a time, he did establish a good healthy herd of both cattle and horses. After Mrs. Bratton died in 1923, Tom decided to go into mixed farming. For many years he and his sons carried on the business of farming in the Porcupine Hills. The last years of his long and eventful life were spent in Fort Macleod, at the home of his daughter. Tom and Lizzie Bratton raised nine children. Two of the nine were born in the U.S.A., Roy and Alma (Mrs. Burgess). Both are now deceased. Of the seven born in Canada, Annie died as a child; Grace died when only twenty-three, leaving three small children; Alice is Mrs. Crook of Pincher Creek; Dorothy is Mrs. C. Munro and lives in Elko, B.C.; [and] Ruth, Mrs. H. Benson, lives in Fort Macleod. The two sons, Harold (Buster) and Art have both retired from farming and live with their families in Fort Macleod.” There also are two (2) old photographs included with this article whose captions read as follows: 01: “Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Bratton”; and 02: “Alma and Mrs. Thomas Bratton, Buster, Art, Ruth” Source: Adapted from Benson, Ruth Bratton, “The Bratton Family”, Fort Macleod – Our Colourful Past[:] A History of the town of Fort Macleod from 1874 to 1924, Fort Macleod: Fort Macleod History Book Committee, 1977, Second Printing 1986, pp. 160 – 161.
