• Name	Scott W. Payne  [1]
  Born	7 Apr 1913	Oklahoma   [1]

  Died	30 Oct 1918	Oklahoma   [1]
  Notes	The date and location of his birth is from the family bible. Linda Miller writes that Scott died when young..."Their mother sent them back to the house from where she was working in the field and they (my dad and Scott) went down into a washed out creek bed and found a kind of sand cave that had been washed out from when the creek flooded. There they started digging. Scott the older one being farther in when it caved in completely covering him. My father dug him out where he could see his face and blood was trickling out of his mouth so he ran for help. The cave-in had killed him instantly by breaking his neck. For years my father spoke of him as if he were younger...... Before my father died I had been doing research and realized Scott was older and told him....what a shocking thing for a young boy of five.

  		Payne, Bert and Scott Grade School Photo, circa 1918 Linda Miller writes that..."the little boy in the front left is Scott (S) and in the row right behind Scott is Bert (B) Payne." Scott died in an accident when he was around five years old, and this picture appears to date from when he must have been around that age. Their younger brother, Raymond (born in 1914) is not pictured and must have been still too young for school. PLEASE HELP US INDETIFY THE UNKNOWN STUDENTS AND TEACHERS PICTURED.
