Charles Strong has a copy of the probated Will of Hattie A. (Brown) Payne from Stephens County, Oklahoma No. 3925.

The petition for probate stated that Hattie had departed this life at Marlow, Stephens County, Oklahoma on or about 12 June 1956, and that she left a total estate of approximately $6,000.

The names and places of residence of her heirs were as follows:

Lee B. Payne, Son, 514 W. Gilkey, Marlow, Oklahoma Joe Payne, Son, 511 Broadway, Marlow, Oklahoma/2408 Lincoln, Fort Worth, Texas Bill Long, Grandson, 2408 Lincoln, Fort Worth, Texas Idell Pafford, Granddaughter, 1708 Oakland, Fort Worth, Texas Hattie Mildred Shaw, Granddaughter, 514 W. Gilkey, Marlow, Oklahoma Kay Denice Shaw, Greatgranddaughter, 514 W. Gilkey, Marlow, Oklahoma

All heirs were of legal age.

Jesse Adkins of Marlow was executor.

Hattie had executed her will on 1 April 1952 in the presence of P.V. Rabb, Caroline S. Payne, and H.C. Payne.

Hattie left each of the above listed heirs the sum of $10, and Lee B. Payne was to receive the residue of all money; furthermore, she left her China Closet and all the contents to Mildred Shaw, and her Piano to Kay Denice Shaw, leaving the remainder of her property, including furniture, jewelry, and all other money to her son Lee B. Payne, "with full knowledge of the help and peace of mind which his love, care and affection has provided for me during my life time."

At the time of her death, Hattie was living at 514 West Gilkey, Marlow, Oklahoma. This was also the residence of one of her son's, Lee B. Payne. As the Will of Hattie Payne does not dispose of the home, it is not known if she was living with her son in his home, or if it was her home but had been transferred to Lee prior to her death. Also living in the home on West Gilkey with Hattie and Lee were Hattie Mildred Shaw, granddaughter, and Kay Denice Shaw, Great Granddaughter.

Notes:

As of 1956, he was living at 514 West Gilkey, Marlow, Oklahoma. This was also the residence of his mother, Hattie (Brown) Payne. As the Will of Hattie Payne does not dispose of the home, it is not known if she was living with her son in his home, or if it was her home but had been transferred to Lee prior to her death. Also living in the home on West Gilkey with Hattie and Lee were Hattie Mildred Shaw, granddaughter, and Kay Denice Shaw, Great Granddaughter.

Hattie left each of her heirs the sum of $10, and son Lee B. Payne was to receive the residue of all money; furthermore, she left her China Closet and all the contents to Mildred Shaw, and her Piano to Kay Denice Shaw, leaving the remainder of her property, including furniture, jewelry, and all other money to her son Lee B. Payne, "with full knowledge of the help and peace of mind which his love, care and affection has provided for me during my life time."

Lee's memorial inscription reads Lee D. Payne 2 June 1959. He is buried in Section 10, Block 9, Lot 5 in Marlow Cemetery.

An infant Joe R. Payne born circa 1913 and died 30 Oct 1913 is buried in Section 10, Block 9, Lot 6. It is possible this is a son of Lee's.

Charles Strong noted that according to court documents, Lee had been living in Chandler, Arizona prior to his death in 1959. On the 10th of January, 1961, the final decree and distribution in the matter of the Last Will and Estate of Lee B. Payne was decreed in the County Court of Stephens, Oklahoma. Harold N. Payne and Evelyn M. Payne were joint executors and trustees. Their relationship to Lee B. Payne is not known.

The residue of the estate at that time consisted of mineral rights for approximately 21 acres of land and cash of $214. The court found that Lee B. Payne left TWO SURVIVING SONS WHO WERE NOT MENTIONED IN THE WILL OF LEE B. PAYNE, DECEASED HEREIN, and said surviving sons were omitted heirs at law under the law of the State of Oklahoma; that said surviving sons were John Earl Payne and Henry Lee Payne, both being of legal age and competent and that each and both surviving children were the only surviving children of the deceased, the only other child of deceased being Hattie Mildred Moore, who predeceased her father, the said Lee B. Payne, herein. That the children of Hattie Mildred Moore, deceased daughter of Lee B. Payne were heirs under the terms of the Will of the said Lee B. Payne, the same being John Lee McWhorter and Kay Denise Shaw; and future that the children of ONE OF THE OMITTED CHILDREN OF LEE B. PAYNE, were heirs under the Will of Lee B. Payne , herein, the same being Michael Payne, Mary Ellen Payne and Patrick Payne. THAT THE TWO OMITTED CHILDREN OF LEE B. PAYNE, DECEASED TESTATOR HEREIN, WERE JOHN EARL PAYNE AND HENRY LEE PAYNE, who entered this probate matter and voluntarily signed Disclaimer and Renunciation of Interest hereing in the entire estate of Lee B. Payne......(emphasis added) further finds; that under the terms of the will the estate is to be conveyed in trust to Millie Payne, wife of the deceased for life....

Notes:

John was omitted under his father's will. In the final distribution of his father's estate, it was noted that the children of "ONE OF THE OMITTED CHILDREN OF LEE B. PAYNE, were heirs under the Will of Lee B. Payne , herein, the same being Michael Payne, Mary Ellen Payne and Patrick Payne. THAT THE TWO OMITTED CHILDREN OF LEE B. PAYNE, DECEASED TESTATOR HEREIN, WERE JOHN EARL PAYNE AND HENRY LEE PAYNE, who entered this probate matter and voluntarily signed Disclaimer and Renunciation of Interest hereing in the entire estate of Lee B. Payne......"

However, it was not noted which of these two brother's was the father of the Michael, Mary Ellen, and Patrick Payne.

The following SSDI record is likely his:
JOHN E PAYNE 21 Dec 1917 06 Jul 2002 (P) (72) (none specified) 443-16-5923 Oklahoma

Notes:

Henry was omitted under his father's will. In the final distribution of his father's estate, it was noted that the children of "ONE OF THE OMITTED CHILDREN OF LEE B. PAYNE, were heirs under the Will of Lee B. Payne , herein, the same being Michael Payne, Mary Ellen Payne and Patrick Payne. THAT THE TWO OMITTED CHILDREN OF LEE B. PAYNE, DECEASED TESTATOR HEREIN, WERE JOHN EARL PAYNE AND HENRY LEE PAYNE, who entered this probate matter and voluntarily signed Disclaimer and Renunciation of Interest hereing in the entire estate of Lee B. Payne......"

However, it was not noted which of these two brother's was the father of the Michael, Mary Ellen, and Patrick Payne.

Notes:

Her father's will notes that "Hattie Mildred Moore, who predeceased her father, the said Lee B. Payne, herein. That the children of Hattie Mildred Moore, deceased daughter of Lee B. Payne were heirs under the terms of the Will of said Lee B. Payne, the same being John Lee McWhorter and Kay Denise Shaw."

It appears from this that Hattie may have been married at least three times: to a McWhorter, a Shaw and a Moore. Note that at the time of her grandmother's death (Hattie Brown) she was listed a Hattie Shaw, and living with her was daughter Kay Denise Shaw. She was instead listed as Hattie Moore at the time of her father's death a short time later.
