  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.
