Lillian spent most of her childhood years in Hastings, IA and Riverton, IA. She was valedictorian of her graduating class and reigned as Miss Riverton for a year. She married Richard Payne in 1941. To this union three children were born. The family made their home in Sidney with Richard’s Aunt Nelle Lamb for many years before moving to the residence at 321 Main. Richard and Lillian celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1991.
Lillian was a hard worker throughout most of her life. She worked at various businesses in Sidney, including the telephone company, Carter’s Grocery, and Pegau’s Western Wear. She cleaned many homes and businesses and took care of people such as the Archies and the Loveladys. Lillian and Aunt Nelle Lamb worked for area hunters for many years, cleaning ducks, geese, and pheasants. The two also did baking for a variety of people. In addition, Lillian did laundry and ironing for several Sidney residents for many years. Later, she worked at a sewing factory in Nebraska City. In the early 1970’s, she gave up her job at the sewing factory to help her husband run the Northside Tavern. They owned and operated this business for nearly 25 years.
Lillian enjoyed cooking and baking. She will always be remembered for her cinnamon rolls, glass candy, chili, and cheeseburgers at the Northside. She also enjoyed working in her yard and garden. She loved spending time with her grandchildren. But perhaps her greatest joy came late in life, when she got to spend time with her great-grandson, Ristan, attending his school concerts, piano recitals, or just playing games with him.
Lillian was a very kind-hearted woman who was good to everyone. She truly enjoyed visiting with people, whether it be at the tavern, at her home, or on the telephone.
For the past few years she suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, which eventually robbed her of most of her memories and abilities. Her struggle and suffering came to an end on Monday, August 2, 2004.
