Hi all... My mother was kind enough to share her scrapbook with me recently --- memories she kept as a pre-teen and teen. In the scrapbook, there is a newspaper clipping which mentions several Carroll County youngsters. These may be your ancestors or relatives ... some even may still be living. The time frame was about 1927-1931. If there are any still living, I know my mom would love to hear from them. E-mail me privately and I'll give you her e-mail address. This is from a Carroll County newspaper ... don't know what the name of it was: "MISS KATHLEEN AND MR. RALPH PAYNE COMPLIMENT VISITORS AT PICNIC "Miss Kathleen and Mr. Ralph Payne entertained at a picnic Tuesday evening at Kinney's Lake, complimenting their guest, Miss Marian McWhorter of East Point. Those enjoying the occasion were Misses Marian McWhorter, Kennon Henderson, Margaret Cheney, Virginia Webb, Jane Mandeville, Jane Luck, Eleanor Sheats, Mary Lyle, Lula Herndon, Marjorie Proctor, Floryce Williamson, Evelyn Fuller, Kathleen Payne; Messrs. Damon Webb, Beverly Thompson of Lexington, Ky., James Bledsoe, Donald Williamson, Paul Brock, A.W. Ford, Edwin Harmon, James Harmon, Tom Loftin, Robert Harmon, Appleton McKinley of Atlanta, Lloyd Griffin of Leesburg, Fla., and Ralph Payne. Mr. and Mrs. C.L. Payne were chaperons for the occasion." Ralph and Kathleen Payne were the children of Coie L. Payne and Annie Belle Hyde, and were my mother's first cousins. Coie was the son of Joseph Joshua Payne and Louisa Elizabeth Boyd. My mother is the daughter of Sarah Jane Payne and John Allen McWhorter. Kathleen married Henley Logan and lived in Roopville. Ralph married Frances Foster from Heflin, Alabama. The Paynes, Boyds and McWhorters all were early Carroll County residents. My mother says she spent many a happy summer with her Carroll County cousins. Just sharing... Judy in Newnan, GA
