    Mrs. Ada Jones Gentry (back row, far left) with sons Rene and Glenn (both in overalls in the back). In front row is a group of unidentified children. To the back, sits a unknown woman in a white hat. Perhaps dressed for Easter? Or a Nurse? Was this taken at a school or hospital? Or perhaps it was taken at the former home of William Miller Gentry, which was later destroyed by a fire.

    PAYNE FAMILY REUNION - 1927 Home of Aunt Annie (O'Neill) Sparks - 303 Hickory, Duncan, Oklahoma
    This 1927 Payne Reunion photo is of 41 people. On September 21-23, 1999, Charles R. Strong along with his mother, Anna Laura "Rooney" (Payne) Strong and two aunts ? Dora Fay (Payne) Pierce-Yeager and Lois Marie (Payne) Hanna reviewed the picture. The late Lewis Adair Payne had already prepared his own list identifying all persons. Both list had errors. Mary Gwendolyn ?Marilynn? (Payne) Wade of Marlow later helped Charles Strong reconcile the two lists and correct some errors. One reason for differences in the two lists was due to the existence of two pictures, which were almost, but not exactly, identical. This photo slightly differs from Aunt Annie?s version.
