• Notes

  John Payton was a good man. He enjoyed playing baseball and was very good at it in his younger days. He had a great sense of family and took on the responsibility for his brothers children after they died. He loved his wife very much and showed it all the time. He would hug and kiss her until she would laugh and tell him to stop. He always had time for his children. He would play baseball out in the street with them. He loved to watch the Friday Night fights on television. Laurel and Hardy, Jerry Lewis were some of his favorite entertainers. He tried to enlist during World War ll, but was turned down. Too many children and a bad heart keep him out. He would drive around town to find servicemen who didn't have a place to stay and would bring them home to stay with us. He was a hard drinking and fighting man. He would on occasion come home drunk and pass out on the floor. On June 21,1954, Monday he went to work and never came home. He had a heart attack while starting to work. They said he had blood clot in the heart. He died instantly. His Funeral was the biggest I have ever seen . There must have been about 500 people there. They were standing out side because there was no room in the service.
