Parker, 49, Sulphur, former resident of Duncan, died at 5:30 p.m. Friday in a Sulphur hospital after a short illness. The funeral service will be at 1:30 p.m. today from the Dunn Funeral Home chapel in Sulphur. Burial will be in the Marlow Cemetery. Mrs. Parker was born near Duncan on September 13, 1899, and lived here all her life until moving to California about 7 years ago. From California she moved to Sulphur. She was the daughter of Walter W. Payne, Stephens county pioneer rancher and business man. She is survived by the widower; two daughters, Mrs. Glen Jones, Weott, Calif., and Mrs. Allen Turner of Roff; two brothers, H.C. Payne and J.E. Payne, both of Duncan; three sisters, Mrs. Hoyt Hardin of Duncan, Mrs. John Young, and Mrs. Charles Birnie, both of Roswell, N.M. Ethel Parker is buried in Section 10, Block 10, Plot 8, Marlow Cemetery. The date of birth shown on her headstone is different from the date shown in the above obituary. It is assumed that the date on the headstone is accurate. Mrs. Allen Turner was the informant on her death certificate. Mary Ethel's death certificate indicated that she had been "In this community" for just 10 days, but her address was listed as 724 W. 14, Sulphur. Perhaps the period of 10 days refers to her stay at the DeLay Hospital, where she died of acute cardiac failure due to a coronary occlusion. (Medical):Hard of hearing

  PAYNE FAMILY REUNION - 1927 Home of Aunt Annie (O'Neill) Sparks - 303 Hickory, Duncan, Oklahoma This 1927 Payne Reunion photo is of 41 people. On September 21-23, 1999, Charles R. Strong along with his mother, Anna Laura "Rooney" (Payne) Strong and two aunts ? Dora Fay (Payne) Pierce-Yeager and Lois Marie (Payne) Hanna reviewed the picture. The late Lewis Adair Payne had already prepared his own list identifying all persons. Both list had errors. Mary Gwendolyn ?Marilynn? (Payne) Wade of Marlow later helped Charles Strong reconcile the two lists and correct some errors. One reason for differences in the two lists was due to the existence of two pictures, which were almost, but not exactly, identical. This photo slightly differs from Aunt Annie?s version. .
