TWO-WAY RADIO ORDERED (photo)
Floyd Crumley and Carl L. Newlon (at mike), representing the Checker Cab company of Kokomo, are shown above trying out two-way radio dispatching to a cab from the American Taxicab association's convention headquarters in Chicago. The local cab company has ordered 12 of the mobile radios for its cabs, according to Mrs. Lelia Hall, owner of the business, and hopes to receive them within a few weeks. At the convention, guest taxicab operators were shown how two-way radio-telephone eliminates "dead" mileage, wasteful backtracking, etc. Demonstrators said it cuts gas and oil dead mileage 30 percent and means a considerable saving of tires as well as speedier service to the public.

Note: Lelia F. (Rarey) Hall, owner of the Kokomo Checker Cab Company, would become Carl Lorraine Newlon's mother-in-law two months after this article was written.

'Bus-Cab' Service in Small Indiana City Fills Breach as Transit Company Quits
Kokomo, Ind. Aug. 8 -- This bustling central Indiana city, best known as the birthplace of the first practical automobile, now has another distinction: A "bus" company that picks up passengers at their doors.
Operator of this unusual transit firm is Carl L. Newlon, who figured he saw an opportunity in mid-1958 when Kokomo's only bus line finally gave up trying to provide transit service at a profit.
Mr. Newlon, who also runs the town's only taxi company, bought six black, well-worn taxis. The six cabs now comprise the entire fleet of the new Checker Transit Co., although he has two more such vehicles on order. "I figured that sooner or later someone would try to start a transit system and decided it might as well be me," say Mr. Newlon.
Here's how Checker Transit works:
The company has divided the city into six sections, one for each if its bus-cabs. When any Kokomo resident wants to travel from his home to downown, he phones the company. Each half hour, the bus-cabs leave their downtown stands and swing through their areas, picking up all the passengers who have called. The fare: 25 cents each.
Checker Transit's operation is similar in some respects to those of taxi companies in suburban towns. When such firms haul commuters to or from local railroad stations, they often handle more than one passenger in a single cab.
But there are basic differences, too. Checker's 25-cent fare is lower than that charged by most taxi companies for rides of comparable lengths. Then, too, Checker's drivers, unlike most cabbies, do not expect tips. And Checker's service is provided on a regular schedule.
The Kokomo bus-cabs follow no regular routes but instead travel the shortest possible distances to pick up and deliver their passengers. If business in one section exceeds the seven passenger capacity of a bus-cab, "I can back up the bus-cab with a regular taxi," says Mr. Newlon. If there are no passengers in one section when the bus-cab assigned to that area is scheduled to leave its downtown stand the bus-cab merely waits another half-hour.
The advantage of such is a system, says Mr. Newlon, "is that it gives us lots of flexibility, something buses don't have. By not moving unless we have a customer, a lot of dead mileage is eliminated. And I'm able to save on gas bills and cut down on repair expenses."
Up to now, Mr. Newlon admits, the transit company is operating with "a very narrow margin of profit." This profit, he says, is possible partly because the operations of his transit firm and his taxi company are closely coordinated.
The two firms, for example, share a common office, the rront room of the white frame houme of Mr. Newlon's mother-in-law, Mrs. Lelia Hall. Mrs. Hall and her late husband started the taxi company 36 years ago; several years ago she turned it over to Mr. Newlon.
Despite the slim profits, Mr. Newlon says he is pleased so far with his transit system. "It's at least keeping people satisfied -- if not happy." The system takes in an average of $150 a day.
Describing the bus-cab operation as "a dandy setup," Kokomo's mayor, Raymon Gilbert, says his office had received no complaints. "My wife used it once and she complained about having to ride all over town before getting home, but she got there and that's what counts."
Regarded as particularly attractive by riders is the home-pickup feature of the company's service. "I use to have to walk about four blocks to get to the bus," says Mrs. Harold Gatewood, who lives on the north edge of the city. "Now I can wait at my back door and the bus comes right up the driveway to pick me up." Mr. Gatewood, she explains drives the family car to work, "and without the service I would never be able to get downtown."
Similarly, Mrs. Eva Murdock, a middle-aged housewife, comments, "I couldn't get down to the doctor without it. Taxis cost so much it would be pretty near impossible for me to get downtown."

William Elias "Will" Payne was born on 8 September 1850 in Indiana.⁵ He was born in 1851 in Indiana.^7,1 He died on 3 January 1925, at age 74, in Salem, Washington Co., Indiana.^8,5,6 He was buried in Crown Hill Cemetery, Salem, Washington Co., Indiana.⁵

William Elias "Will" Payne was also known as William Edgar Payne.⁹ He had reference number 12503. He was enumerated on the census in Washington County, Indiana (1860 - 1880); Daviess County, Indiana (1910.) He was a Farm laborer (1870); works in saw mill (1880), salesman - general store (1910.)^1,2,3 Several genealogies show William Payne with a wife and children. I believe that these are in error. I do not think William Payne, son of Henry and Caroline (Davis) Payne, ever married.

OBITUARY #1 - The Salem Leader or The Salem Democrat, Salem Indiana; 3 January 1925:
WILLIAM PAYNE
William Payne, who has been in ill health for a number of years, died at his home on E. Mulberry St., of lung trouble, Saturday morning at 4:30 o’clock. The deceased was making arrangements to close his home and go to the home of his sister, Mrs. Sylvester Graham at Logansport, when taken so severely ill. He had never married and for several years had been living alone in Salem where he had a brother and sister residing, who saw after his welfare. His remains were taken to the home of his sister, Mrs. S. C. White.
After a few days of complete disability he quietly went away to his reward on the early morning of January 3rd, 1925, having reached the age of 74 years, 3 months and 25 days.
Will, as he was commonly known, grew to manhood in the Highland neighborhood and all knew him to be a jovial, friendly and good natured neighbor.
At the age of 24 years he joined the Highland Methodist church, under the pastorate of Rev. Wm. H. Grimm, and was always a faithful worker as long as his health permitted. He was a member of the K. of P. Lodge, and a Charter member of the Red Man Lodge.
The later years of Mr. Payne’s life were spent in Salem where he clerked in the stores of John _. Williams, Charles Mobley and Frank Summers until his health failed.
The last six years of his life were quietly spent in his own home in Salem.
He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. S. S. Graham, of Logansport, Ind., and Mrs. A. C. White, of Salem. Four brothers survive, Byron of Borden, Jordan, of Vallonia, and Leonard and Edgar of Salem. His parents, two brothers and two sisters have preceded him in death. Besides his relatives he leaves a large circle of friends and acquaintances to mourn his going.
There is no death; An Angel form walks o’er the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best loved things away and then we call them dead.
Funeral services were held at the Weir Memorial church Monday morning at 10:30 conducted by the pastor, Rev. Carl F. Glick, and the Knights of Pythias. The music was given by a quartette, Mrs. E. H. Bristol, Miss Helen Reid, W. H. Rudder and Charles Robertson, and a special number by Mr. And Mrs. Preston. Interment was made in Crown Hill Cemetery.
The members of the family attending from a distance were Messrs. S. S. Graham, of Logansport; H. B. Payne and family, of Borden; Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Payne, daughter Mary Catherine, and Mr. and Mrs. Victor Payne, of Vallonia

In Loving Remembrance of

Samuel Payne
Died Nov. 9, 1928
Age 62 years

Gone but not forgotten

A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we lived is stilled;
A Place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.

God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given;
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.

Obituary - The Salem Leader; Salem, Indiana; 16 Nov. 1928:

S. O. PAYNE PASSES AWAY AT SO. BOSTON
Was LEADER Correspondent For More Than Forty Years
The LEADER joins a host of friends and neighbors in paying tribute to a faithful friend in South Boston, S. O. Payne, who, for more than forty years served this paper as correspondent from his community. He was always ready to serve in this duty in which he found great pleasure and never failed to send the news of his neighborhood until shortly before his death which occurred at his home last Friday.
Samuel Oscar Payne, son of Jeremiah and Catherine Payne, was born July 21, 1866, and departed this life, Nov. 9, 1928, age 62 years, 3 months and 18 days, he being the youngest child and only son of a family of 6 children.
He was united in marriage to Dora L. McClellan on August 12, 1886, and to this union were born 5 children, Eva, Ray and Willie, of this place, Mrs. Jason McCoskey, of Webster City, Iowa, and Mrs. Ellis Rodman, who preceded her father to the Great Beyond three years ago.
Besides his wife and four children he leaves to mourn his departure, one sister, Mrs. William A. Walker, of South Boston, five grandchildren and a multitude of neighbors and friends.
He became a member of the Methodist church at Conway when he was but eighteen years of age, where he worshipped and toiled for the betterment of the community as long as he was able to attend. Four years ago he developed a cancer and, although everything was done that was humanly possible it was of no avail.
Oscar, for that was the name by which we knew him best, holds an enviable place in the hearts of the people of this community. It can truthfully be said that none was more loyal in the support of church, school and other worthy enterprises in the community, always ready to do his share in sickness or to help the unfortunate. These qualities, together with his unusually pleasant disposition, gave him a welcome wherever he was known. He leaves a vacant place in the home and the entire community regrets their loss but it is satisfying to remember that his life has not been lived in vain.

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea.

For tho’ from out our bourne of time and place,
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.

LINZA M. ANDERSON
Linza M. Anderson, son of Wiley and Catherine Payne Anderson, was born April 9, 1859 and died July 19, 1928 at the age of 69 years, 3 months and 10 days. He was married on December 14, 1911 to Miss Belle Nale whom he had known since childhood. He became a member of the Church of Christ in early manhood and in all the years that followed exemplified to the world the ways of a Christian man.
Bereft of his mother in childhood, her place in his life was taken by Mary Beeson, and to all who knew them their love was an inspiration. She preceded him to the grave but a few years and her going was a sorrow deep and lasting to him. Being a man of great and tender heart he grieved long at the loss of his brother James, the first and only of his three brothers and one sister to be taken before him. He leaves an aged father whose need for him can only be fulfilled by Him who holds us all in the hollow on His hand. He leaves the companion of his heart and life whose faithfulness in the last months of suffering was an example of rare devotion. He leaves the world his friends, and no higher tribute can be paid any man than that he never proved unworthy of the smallest trust, never failed a friend, had not an enemy in the world, and died an honest man. He was a member of the Woodmen of America for 29 years.
Funeral held at the home, seven miles east of town at 10 o’clock Sunday morning, July 22. Rev. Earl Daniels, pastor of the First Christian church, Salem, was in charge of the services.

During young manhood be became a Christian and kept the Faith until the end. He attended services at Cross Roads Church of Christ more than at any other place, but in his last years he placed his membership at Salem.

Mr. Anderson was a good and helpful neighbor and a man highly respected by many. May it be so “he will meet the Lord with joy ___ ___.”.
