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.
