Notes	His obituary, as it appeared in the Marlow Review, Thursday, June 22, 1916. Obituary of Samuel M. Payne Born March 11, 1849 in Marion County, MO. Was married to Miss Olive McClanahan in August, 1873. To this union was born six children, two of whom are dead. His wife died five years ago. About six months ago he was united in marriage to Mrs. Hollingsworth of Duncan, Oklahoma. At this time he is survived by three sons, Marvin Payne of Chickasha, Frank Payne of Wichita Falls, Texas, and Aubrey Payne, Davidson, Okla., and one daughter, Mrs. H.P Haycraft of this city. Mr. Payne was not a member of any church or lodge but he was a good man in every respect. He believed in good morals. He strictly believed in the "Golden Rule" "Do unto others as you would be done by." He believed in a supreme being and a higher power and universal salvation. He was a most devoted husband and father. He was just a human being subject to the frailities of the flesh. If he made any mistakes we have forgotten them and if he has any accounting to make for the life he lived, he will make it to the Judge of all the earth who doeth all things well and will judge with justice and mercy. (Courtesy of Lynell Gentry Cordell) In a biography of his brother-in-law, John O'Neill, he was referenced as "Samuel, who lives on a farm near Marlow, Oklahoma." The following biography of Samuel Marshall Payne was written by Ken Harvey: Migrated to Texas on Texan Road (Hwy 69) with his parents and all his brothers and sisters after the Civil War, in abt. 1878. He would have been twenty-nine years old. Initially they all lived in a dugout. See "Down the Texas Road" by Grant Foreman (1936) HISTORIC TRACES ALONG HIGHWAY 69 THROUGH OKLAHOMA Univ. of Oklahoma, Norman Press for general reference In appearance he had a red beard and was of slender build. He had a weakness for fast horses which was perhaps encouraged by his contact with the Commanches out west. After all he needed speed to get away from them. He used to stride about the racecourse with tears in his eyes, such was his involvement in racing. He was quite an emotional man. He cowboyed for many years in Texas and never considered that he worked for anyone in his life. It was a hard life. He and Ollie once found a man who had been skinned alive by the Indians while going somewhere with a wagon. He never knew if the victim was a whiteman or an Indian. They took him into town but he was dead on arrival. On one occasion he found it necessary to hide in a plum thicket from Indians he had inadvertently come across. He stood there holding his horses nose to stop it whinnying. He was very fortunate with the wind direction as the scent of his mount was not carried to the Indian horses. The Indians would either have been in the area horse stealing or on the war path. It didn't really matter as the result for Samuel, if discovered, would probably have been the same. 1880 - His younger sister, L[ouise] C. Payne (b. 1863), stayed with his young family in Cooke County, Texas. She was "teaching school" at the time in 1880 according to the census. 1893 - While in living in Texas, Sam came to Oklahoma for the Land Run. He arrived for the opening of the Cherokee Strip in 1893. He came prepared with a wagon and team in order to ride with a lightweight racing saddle on his accompanying thoroughbred horse. He wore light boots and a cap with the bill turned backwards. He said he didn't want to look like a cowboy-he just wanted maximum speed. He found the land he wanted as he knew the area well from his droving days. He immediately placed his claim. After he got to the land office he sold the 160 acres he was now entitled to. The claim, which never had his name registered, was located near Enid and he was to say he made more money in that single transaction than he could have done in one whole year of being a cowboy. In 1893 a Payne family group studio photograph was taken, probably in Quanah. It shows left to right; Samuel Marshall Payne (44) seated, Effie Mae (10) standing, C. Frank (18) seated, Aubrey Hamilton (16) standing rear, Samuel E. (14) standing forground, Marvin Walter (12) standing rear and Olivia McClanahan Payne (49) seated. Sam never grew any more. Lewis Payne has a copy of this photograph and the original is thought to have been with his sister Mary Olive and hence passed on to Dorothy Thompson. Another original is the property of Mary Ann Mounts Payne. 1895-He was the original entryman to 160 acres in Stephens County; the North-East quarter of section thirty-five in township two, [north of] range eight, west [of the Indian Meridian]. It is located about four miles outside Marlow. Sam and his family settled there, beside Hell Creek. 1900-The census shows the Sam Payne family living in Hardeman County, Texas. 1901-Samuel was described by his brother Walter W. Payne as the original entryman to 160 acres in Stephens County, Oklahoma. This land being the north-east quarter of Section thirty-five, township tow [Rock Creek, north of] Range eight (8) west [of the Indian Meridian. This farm was located about four miles outside Marlow]. This grant of land "was established and duly consumated" to Samuel M. Payne on 17 March 1920 by the signature of President Woodrow Wilson in line with the act to secure homesteads on the public domain. 1910 - Later Samuel purchased a farm about four miles outside Marlow, OK and in 1910 he was listed as living there in Rock Creek Township with his wife Ollie, his married son Marvin, his wife Grace and their child, his grandson, Chadwick. There were also two hired men and a cousin?, Lizzie Pictria (19), in the household. Ollie died in April of 1910 and Samuel became a widower. 1914-A sepia toned photograph is taken of Samuel in front of his house. The photograph includes (l to r) his son Marvin, Samuel, daughter Effie and her husband Hugh S. Haycraft. In an Affidavit of Heirship of Samuel M. Payne who died intestate, Walter W. Payne stated that "...sometime during the year of 1915 he [Samue M. Payne] again married one Leona Hollingsworth." The couple are later listed as possessing one brown mare name Dolly, one sorrel mare names Bell and one whitefaced cow named Mott and her calf. "To this union no children were born and it is my understanding that she [Leona Hollingsworth] has given a deed of conveyance to any interest that she might have had in the estate of my deceased brother." 1916-Joe Payne of Knoxville records that Samuel died and was buried in Quanah, Texas. This is incorrect. Records from the Marlow Funeral Home instead indicate that he died at his residence in Marlow. His funeral was paid for by his son, Marvin Payne, a few months after the funeral. He was buried in the Marlow Cemetery, Section 10, Block 10, Plot 5. (Research): Census Listing: 1880 Federal Census RelationSexMarrRaceAgeBirthplace Sam M.

Photos		Payne, Samuel Marshall Family Samuel Marshall Payne and Olivia McClanahan were married in 1873 in Missori, eventually moving to Texas. Ken Harvey writes that "In 1893 a Payne family group studio photograph was taken, probably in Quanah, Texas. It shows left to right; Samuel Marshall Payne (44) seated, Effie Mae (10) standing, C. Frank (18) seated, Aubrey Hamilton (16) standing rear, Samuel E. (14) standing forground, Marvin Walter (12) standing rear and Olivia McClanahan Payne (49) seated." Note that 14 year old Samuel E. Payne, standing in the front row, looks much younger than his actual age. He was born with a form of dwarfism, and never grew taller in stature than is pictured. He died within 10 years of the picture being taken.
