According to Fay (Payne) Yeager, her half-uncle Clyde Marion Payne was hooked on drugs, probably heroin or cocaine. This may have been due to World War I wounds. According to Fay, he had kicked the habit and was attending Oklahoma A & M in Stillwater. When he became ill, he made his wife (Bill) promise to not allow use of drugs. His death was supposedly a bad one. Both Fay and Lois PAYNE mentioned Clyde's wife as "BILL". Both commented how they competed to sit in her lap. Bill was glad to accomadate them, however she required them to "sit still and not wiggle."

• Photos		Payne, Thomas Bunker with his second wife, Lillian (James) Payne and son Marion Clyde Although Lillie appears as if she could be Native American, no enrollment within the Five Civilized Tribes has been found. Additionally, when Thomas enrolled in the Chickasaw Nation based on his marriage to his first wife, Lillie was described as a "white woman." Thomas died six years after this photo "after a long and lingering illness like consumption." Lillie died within four years of her husband, after being "sick only a few hours." Their three young children, ages 11, 8 and 5, were left orphaned, as was Tom's older son, Thomas Hamilton Payne, 17.
