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.

Payne Family (a son of Levi Newton Payne?)
Linda Miller writes that "the picture of the family sitting in front of the house unfortunately is another one that is unknown...I do know it is one of Levi Newton's (five) sons and family, maybe someone knows for sure." Linda wrote this could possibly even be her granfather, William Bertram Payne, with his first wife and their children. William Bertram was the only son of Levi's who had a cleft lip---but this photo is not of a high enough resolution to determine that.
