Uncle JD was the oldest of the Payne siblings. Mary (the baby) remembers him as giving her a penny to shine his shoes when they were young. A penny was a lot of money then. When JD and Helon were courting, they would go and park at the fertilizer factory (next to the lumber yard) where Uncle JD worked. The Negro woman, Janie, who worked for JD's mother, Cammie, told Mama Payne one day where JD was courting. That explained why he always came home from a date smelling to high heaven! He always liked to grow vegetables and always farmed on the side. Raised hogs and vegetables, gave most of them away. He grew the food, Aunt Helon cooked it, and could she ever cook! Uncle JD was always pulling somebody's leg. You never knew when he was joking or telling the truth. He worked at the fertilizer factory in Northport and then as a maintenance man for a housing project. Aunt Helon worked at the courthouse. Uncle JD had his very own pew at the First Baptist Church on Main Street in Northport. He always attended Sunday School and Church. Fletcher Barnes and Dr. Sprayberry were his best friends for a lifetime. They had a hunting lodge down on the Warrior River and loved to go down there with their coon dogs and go hunting. Uncle JD knew no stranger and everyone loved him and Aunt Helon. His favorite hangout was the Cafe in Northport where he kept up with all the happenings of the town. He adored his daughter, Linda Sue, and truly loved his wife, Helon. He was a fine Christian man and a friend to all. He always gave away his produce and loved to see people enjoy it. He was a friend to black as well as white people. He adored his grandchildren, Tandi Lynn Johnson Cameron and Robert Lance Johnson. Daniel Major Cameron was the apple of his eye and he loved the other grandson, Nathan Hugh Cameron. Helon's mother, Mama Bonner, lived with JD and Helon till she died. When JD and Helon were married, they lived with Mama Payne.
