Orville Scott

(1.Louise¹) was born in May 1887 in Texas; and died.

Notes:

In Lewis Adair Payne's Personal Journal he wrote on March 16, 1936 "I went up to see Orville who is near death and promised [his brother] Claude to return and keep him company while he watched over him. Suppered at Uncle Frank's [Gentry] and then back to be with Claude. Homer Strong [married to Anna Laura Payne] was there too and stayed until nearly 1 am. Claude and I not to bed until 2:30. He gave me money to eat breakfast one." On March 23 he followed up with a related entry "Saw Claude who says that Orville is much better considering."

Later in life, Lewis told Kenneth Harvey that Orville 'was a terrible talker' and that he never married.

Florence Scott

(1.Louise¹) was born in Jul 1889 in Texas; died in Nov 1951 in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas.

Notes:

A beautiful woman with a rose-petal complexion. A cosmetic company, Francis Denny, paid her salary for a year to prevent her working for the competition. She didn't have to do anything. She was quite clear in her mind that her features owed nothing to cosmetics-she considered her regular drinks of iced water to be the secret.

She later had one breast removed. When she was ill young Lewis Adair Payne was called into her room for the purpose of being told that he came from a good family and he was never to forget it. Lewis lived in her home for a time.

She married Ray Hard. He had invented some sort of oil field tool.

After Florence died it is believed that a set of beautiful Japanese hand-painted Noritake plates belonging to her was given to Lewis Adair Payne. They are now in the collection of Penny Ethlen Payne.
