Notes:

In a biography of his brother-in-law, John O'Neill, he was referenced as "Newton, a farmer near Wewoka, Oklahoma."

When she was around six year old, ca 1918-1919, Roonie recalls going from her father's ranch to the big Payne farm, over the hill about 1/2 a mile away. When they arrived, Levi Newton Payne and his family were in two covered wagons starting a trip to Arizona. Her parents had gone to the farm to say their goodbyes. She remembered that one of the young children appeared to be retarded/disabled in some way. The family remained in Arizona, which is where Levi Newton died around 1932. (This story was told to Charles Strong by his mother around 1990).

In the copy of the Will of William H. Payne, he lists Levi as recieving $400. Levi was taught to read by his wife Lizzie, a school teacher. Levi Newton was in the 1889 run and got land near Oklahoma City, but traded it for a horse. (Source: Cova Jean Williams).

He died from acute angina pectoris on December 3, 1932. The informant was F.L. (Fred Lee) Payne. The undertaker was M.L. Gibbons. he was recorded as 76 years, 4 months and 1 day old. (From his death certificate filed in Arizona). A memorial stone was erected over his grave in 1988.

Notes:

Ken Harver writes that she was a school teacher. Cova Jean Williams writes that she was buried at the Owens Prairie Cemetery, Stephens County, Oklahoma.

Nor can a listing be found for her on FindAGrave.
