Abstract
This
collection
consists
of
biographical
materials
relating
to the
Payne
family
.
Elizabeth's
three
page
,
typewritten
biography
was
written
and
submitted
by
Ireta
B
.
Mason
in
1949
.
Only
a
brief
account
is
given
of
Elizabeth's
life
, but a
few
interesting
stories
are
included
.
When
Elizabeth
was a
young
child
, she
waited
in
line
with
other
Sunday
school
children
to
catch
a
glimpse
of a
train
.
Seeing
a
train
for the
first
time
was
exhilarating
for
Elizabeth
.
When
the
church
instigated
the
United
Order
,
which
required
members
to
share
land
,
possessions
, and
skills
,
Elizabeth
contributed
her
time
by
gleaning
grain
from the
fields
,
spinning
wool
, and
gathering
cat-
tails
,
which
were
apparently
used
in
pillows
and
beds
.
Although
the
United
Order
was
discontinued
,
Elizabeth
continued
to
work
hard
to
help
support
her
family
. She
did
housework
,
ironing
,
washing
, and
mending
for
large
families
,
earning
$1.50
each
week
.
Although
Elizabeth
held
many
responsibilities
as a
young
adult
, she
often
found
time
for
leisure
. She
loved
to
play
games
,
sing
, and
dance
with her
friends
.
After
Elizabeth's
marriage
, she
spent
much
of her
time
nursing
. The
biographer
writes
that
Elizabeth
delivered
more
than
250
babies
and
cared
for
numerous
diseases
.
Many
times
, she
offered
her
services
to
others
without
charge
.
When
her
husband
died
July
27
,
1941
,
Elizabeth
spent
much
of her
time
as a
ward
missionary
and
genealogist
.
Considered
by
many
to be a
great
asset
to her
community
,
Elizabeth
held
an
interview
with
KSVC
Radio
in
October
1948
, and
shared
advice
and
stories
with
listeners
.
