terry, on the plot owned by his
brother, Beverley T. Payne. The
Rockingham Commandery, No.
%, Knights Templar, acted as an
escort of honor, the Sir Knights
in line before the church door,
and the casket being borne un-
der the arch of steel. The Sir
Knights then marched behind
hearse to the cemetery, and at
the grave the emblem of Sir
Knighthood was pinned upon the
the casket by the Eminent Com
mander A. c. Everett. At the
conclusion of the service at the
grave, Bishop Cheshire repeated
those comforting lines, Father,
into Thy gracious keeping, Leave
we now Thy servant sleeping"
The grave was banked with
beautiful flowers, and adjoining
graves were covered. Among
the designs was a huge cross
from the Episcopal church, a star
from the Sunday school, large
pillows from both the Command
cry and Blue Lodge, and wreaths
from the Pee Dee Mfg. Co., and
from many relatives and friends.
Especially lovely was a pail of
roses made by Mrs. A. c. Everett.
Eugene Payne was a remarka-
bly, fine fellow. He was born in
Norfolk June Il, 1884, a son of
the late w. T. Payne. His moth
er survives him in Norfolk.
About II years ago he and his
brother Beverley moved to Rock
ingham, where was living an
older sister, Mrs. w. N. Everett.
On Aug. II, 1914, he married
Miss Sarah Brockenborough, of
Charlotte, and to this union was
born two children, Mary Wris-
ton and Eugene, Junior, and
these with their mother survive.
For the past three years or so he
has beenl secretary of 1.-THE Pee
Dee Mfg. Co., one of the large
cotton mills of Rockingham. He
was Senior Warden of the
Church of the Messiah, and for
many years has been superin-
tendent of the Sunday school.
He was devoted to his church
and Masonry. He was a Knight
Templar and Shriner, and only
last Thursday night was installed
as Captain-General of the Rock
ingham Commandery. On last
Sunday, Easter Sunday, the Com,
mandery marched to the Episco-
pal church tor the annual serm-
on, and he was in command and
apparently in his usual health.
On the day before, Saturday, he
was at Pinehurst with a!party of
friends. And so his almost sud.
den death came as shock to his
friends. About a year ago he
underwent an operation by DR..
Gushing at Boston, and this oper'
alton relieved pressure on his
brain that had been giving him
trouble the past few years,
Eugene Payne was conscien.
tious to a marked degree; he was
quiet, kindly and a man who at.
tended strictly to his own affairs
He was clannishly devoted to his
kindred and loyal to his friends
He will be sadly missed in his
Church and home, and in his
passing the town of Rockingham
has lost a substantial citizen, and
his home a devoted father.
In addition to his wife and two
children, there survive his mother
in Norfolk, and two sisters anc
five brothers-Mrs. W. N. Ever
ett, of Rockingham, Mrs. Mari

On the afternoon of April 9TH lit
tie Miss Mamie Leak Payne was
hostess to a number of her small
friends, the occasion being her ninth
birthday. All arrived bringing
many and varied gifts which were
swectly and graciouSly accepted by
the young hostess. All sorts of
games We're played and then every
body was asked into the dining
room where a beautiful birthday
table was arranged. Green and
white was the color motif used, the
table having as its CcnterpicCc big
white icing cake bearing nine white
candles in green holders. Great fun
was had as the candles were blown
out and the cake cut. Ice cream
and cake with homemade candy
was served, and to each guest was
given n tiny Easter Rabbit as a
souvenir of the coming Easter sea
