The Establishment of Club Payne
In the 1960s Byrd and A’s children joined to establish the Payne Company in order to keep and maintain the house and property. The brothers and sisters – Irene, Clarence, Tip, Sally, Anne, Jim, Kathleen, and Roger – worked together in an informal manner to maintain and handle the affairs of the house and property. Only siblings could have carried off such a task! Those years were filled with many family gatherings at the house for those who lived out of town, and enabled them to stay in close touch with their Claiborne County relatives and friends who still resided nearby.
By 2007, the need for a more formalized support structure was evident. David Rose, Beth Owens, Mike Stockwell, and Mike Perkins led a reorganization of the Payne Company that established Club Payne for those interested in contributing toward that goal. Membership in Club Payne is open only to direct blood descendants of Byrd and A. Besides annual donations paid by Club Members, voluntary donations are also welcomed.
The following are the first annual reports issued by Club Payne. Our intention is to publish an annual report about the LMH and all financial records. All these reports will be published on our club website and copies will be made and kept in binders at the Lone Mountain house for all to see.
House Report
The LMH suffered a broken water pipe during the bitter cold weather just prior to family coming in for Aunt Bertha Payne’s funeral. Dale Brogan, a local handyman, was hired to fix the plumbing. He would later be hired to a maintenance contract to look after the house, winterize it in the winter, and keep the plumbing taken care of.
