Obituary

Ida May Payne
By Elder W.H. George

The death angel came to the home of Bro. L.J. Payne and took from him his dear companion. On November 2, the spirit of Sister Payne left the old tabernacle of clay and went to God. On November Fourth the body was carried to the Church of Christ in Marlow to bestow that last sad rite.

In this little church I am sure is she could speak she would say that some of the most pleasant and sweetest moments of her life were spent in the study of the Bible and in the service of her God.

The great crowd that attended this funeral service was a token of memory of the sweet influence in life. Willing hands and loving hearts did all that could be done to help the loved ones to bear the great burden of sorrow.

The Church of Christ of Duncan, the Church of Christ of Rush Springs helped to share in our burden of sorrow, with their presence, their prayers, sympathy and song and beautiful flowers. The floral offerings of the many friends and loved ones were beautiful.

Will say to Brother Payne, the aged father and mother, brothers and sisters who are left behind, weep not as though they have no hope.

The writer tried to speak words of comfort to the bereaved ones.

Is not heaven nearer and sweeter because a loved one has gone on?

Marlow Cemetery Records show that Ida Mae Payne was born Oct 1 1892 died 2 Nov 1925.

This obituary appears to relate to the same woman, however, in the obituary it appears that she was married to an L.J. Payne, and not Walter Winkle. This discrepency should be resolved.

Ida married Walter Winkle Payne about 1907. Walter (son of Thomas Hamilton Payne and Martha Jane Marshall) was born in Mar 1867 in Shelby County, Missouri; died on 26 Mar 1929 in Marlow, Stephens County, Oklahoma; was buried on 29 Mar 1929 in Marlow Cemetery, Marlow, Stephens County, Oklahoma.
