Lee also became active in agriculture and cattle breeding on his ranch in Uvalde County. An avid Republican, he attended several national conventions as a delegate, and in 1924 he refused the party's nomination for governor of Texas. He twice married, the first to Elizabeth Mann on July 14, 1892. Before she died on June 21, 1895, however, the union produced one child, Mabel Martha, who later became the wife of Talbot Frederick Rothwell.
