Obituary
Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Payton
Lillian and Isaac Payton, together in life for more than forty years, were united in death Wednesday evening. Mr. Payton, retired farmer and businessman, died Tuesday morning at the home. Mrs. Payton, who had not been ill, died Wednesday evening at the dinner table. Friends thought the shock of her husband's death was in all probability the cause of Mrs. Payton's death. Neither had been ill and Monday both were busy working in the yard at their home.
Double funeral services were held the following Friday afternoon, the day of Mr. and Mrs. Payton's forty-first wedding anniversary.
Lillian A. [rwilda] Guthrie was born August 3, 1862 in Springfield, Cedar County, Iowa.
Isaac Allen Payton was born near Woodhull, Henry County, Ill., March 2, 1860 and moved to Taylor County, Iowa, with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob [Harvey] Payton in the spring of 1873. He grew to manhood here.
Mr. and Mrs. Payton were married at Bedford, Iowa, Nov. 22, 1899. She was 78 years of age at the time of her death and he was 80. They had been residents of Chanute, Kans., the past eleven years, residing on a farm near Elsmore, Kans., prior to that time.
They are survived by a son, Albert Payton of Sterling, Kans. Mrs. Payton has a brother, E. [sanor] Guthrie of Woodston, Kans. Mr. Payton has three sisters, Mrs. Sarah Butts of Bedford, Mrs. [Lois] Celinda Moore of Des Moines and Mrs. Elma Overstreet, who resides in Florida.
