On October 1, 1922, Ralph married Nora Bell Clark, a neighbor girl who was the daughter of another homesteader. Ralph and Nora established a cattle ranch and had three children: Charles Leslie Hill, Harold E. Hill, and Cleona Mae Hill Allen. Ralph and Nora were divorced in about 1947.
Ralph married Nellie (--?--) in about 1948, and this marriage ended in divorce.
