  • Payne Cemetery Gate (2352 KB)
    After many years without a sign or gate, one was finally erected at the entrance to the cemetery.
  • Henry Jordon Bates (12 KB)
    Henry Jordon (they pronouced it Jurden!) Bates was my Mother, Evelyn Bates Franks, grandfather. He was born around 1851 in Alabama. Not much is known about him. My mother told me a little about him, mostly of his visits when it was "their turn" to have him at their home. This is the only picture that I have heard of made of him. It was of a birthday and the whole picture has him sitting in a chair in the yard with his cake in his lap. He seems to be a small man, which many of the Bates men were small. My grandfather, Will Bates, said he was of Dutch-Irish and Scot-Irish descent. Henry Jordon's father was Walter Bates, born aournd 1817 in South Carolina. Walter was in Chambers County AL when he married Frances Poe in 1844. That is the earliest document I can find on this family. This is where our Bates family ends on the family tree, for now!
  • Capt. John Payne & wife Cassie Tombstone (1255 KB)
    This picture was made many years ago before the second break. It is now in 3 pieces. There must be a picture somewhere before the marker was broken, because I can remember when it was not broken. SK
  • C. C. Payne and son Monroe B. Payne (411 KB)
    A picture of Christopher Columbus Payne and his son Monroe B. Payne, likly made in Oklahoma before C. C. Payne moved back to Mississippi where he was born. Known by my grandmother and her siblings as "Uncle Comb", he lived out the remainder of his years in the Tupelo, MS area where he stayed with different nieces and nephews until the time of his death.
