She married when she was about 16 to Charles H. Duncan. They lived for a while in Oklahoma where their three sons were born, then moved to New Mexico. In 1920, they were in Alamagordo, Otero County, New Mexico, and had 3 sons, Ernest Payne Duncan born June 28,1896 in Cordell, Oklahoma, Frank Duncan born about 1899 in Oklahoma, and Horace Duncan born about 1905 in Oklahoma, and one daughter, Lavona Duncan.born about 1915, in New Mexico. By 1930, they had moved to San Antonio Township, in Los Angeles County, California, Charles Duncan was 60 years old, born Missouri, working as a stevedore on the wharfs, Laura was 52, born Oklahoma, and two of their children were with them, Horace and Lavona. Laura's husband Charles Duncan died after the 1930 census and before the 1940 census, in Los Angeles County, California. After her husband's death, Laura lived with her son Horace who by then had married and had a son. Laura was age 62 years old, a widow, and was working in a factory. In 1952, about nine months before her death, Laura had moved back to rural Chickasha, Oklahoma and was living with her widowed sister Jessie [Payne] Nunn. Laura died January 5, 1953, suddenly of a heart attack at her sister's Jessie's home. Pallbearers were: Fred Kennedy, Leslie Talkington, Frank Ferrell, Gene Payne, Howard Ferrell, and G. G. Taylor. [Submitters note] Frank Ferrell and Howard Ferrell were sons of James Lonzo and Ettie [Payne] Ferrell, Laura's nephews; and Leslie Talkington was the son of Annie [Payne] and Albert Talkington of Chase County, Kansas, another of Laura's nephews. Internment was in Amber Cemetery in Amber, Grady Co., Oklahoma, under direction of Chickasha Funeral Home. SUBMITTERS NOTE TO CORRECT INFORMATION ON THE HEADSTONE:Sevier Funeral Home in Chickasha has verified that Laura was buried in Amber Cemetery, and the man in charge of Amber cemetery has verified the homemade headstone shown as Laura Payne, is for Laura Duncan who died January 5, 1953, and was buried in Amber Cemetery at this grave location on January 8, 1953 [We wanted to make sure as there were several Laura Payne in Grady County]. I have a copy of her mother's page in the bible, listing births of children; and have found Laura E. Payne Duncan on at least 3 census both before and after she married. Margaret E.
