Dear Folks, Tom Payne was an early postmaster in Selden, Texas. on Sims Creek. He married Minnie Olivia Wyly, born 5/26/1865 & died 1912. She was born Habersham County, Georgia. He is buried in Selden (Hatchett ) Cemetery on the Duffau Creek surrounded by Wyly dairy land. She was my Great Grandad's half sister- one of Oliver Cromwell Wyly's 23 children. He also raised 3 others. (Clarkesville - Hiawasse Georgia area) Ida Minerva Wyly b. 1868, sister of Minnie, married John Kay. He owned the store which contained the Selden Post Office. Their mother was Martha Catherine Mitchell- a Eddins- Yowell- Moulder( Col. Von Moller- German) Cleveland descendant. John Kay sold his prairie farm between Selden and Crockett school (Recently part of Charlie Neblett ranch) and moved to Stephenville, where he had various businesses and investments. Janie Furman of Albequerque has much Wyly- Kay- and reelated history. She is John's granddaughter & may have some Payne records. Al Payne ran the Aderholdt Funeral Home in West , Texas (McLennan County) and I think he had lived in Meridian. Bob George runs a daily religious show on a Dallas Station 660 and on Waco 1010, called "People to People" and teaches "Classic Christianity". His wife is a former Russian prisoner. I worked with a Simmons at Convair Fort Worth and we carpooled from Stephenville daily. was it you that recently said that some of the Georges lived in Tolar, Texas once? Hope this helps.
