There is a small, private cemetery on the William Lebert Payne place. It is situated on a rising knoll above Peeler's Branch and across the branch from the Payne farm. The cemetery, known as the Motsinger Family Cemetery contains the graves of Michael and Martha Jane (Peeler) Motsinger and six of their children. The cemetery was surveyed by Lulie Davis and Charles Hosea on October 17, 1940. Lulie noted: "At the Lebert Payne place we saw many beautiful varieties of cacti; counted the old log buildings still standing in a fair state of preservation -- the log house have been moved back for a smoke house. Many excellent biscuit meals have been cooked in the open fire-place and served to hucksters and travelers who came the branch road that is still passable. Well-preserved log corn-crib and barn are still in use. This was the Benj. Brim Home."
Note: Benjamin Brim married Martha (Peeler) Motsinger on 19 may 1872 in Washington County, Indiana.

OBITUARY – The Salem, Indiana Leader or Democrat; December 5, 1923:
Jacob D. Payne
On Friday evening about 9 o’clock at his home east of South Boston, with his loved ones about him, the life of Jacob D. Payne came to a peaceful ending.
Mr. Payne had been afflicted with heart trouble for a number of months but he did not allow this danger to cloud his spirits or keep him from his daily tasks; he seemed to be getting everything ready for his final departure, which came after only a few days serious illness.
Jacob Dawson Payne, youngest son of James H. and Sophia Blades Payne was born May 22, 1854 and died November 30, 1923, aged 69 years, 6 months and 8 days. He was married to Anna L. Tilford, September 30, 1875, with whom he lived happily until his death.
Mr. Payne is survived by his devoted wife and four children, three sons all of whom are married and are respected citizens. Wm. Lebert is a resident of this county; Claude B., Ross l., and the only daughter, Mrs. Stella Waisner all have homes in Jeffersonville. There are 16 grandchildren and one great-grandchild, who will mourn the loss of a dear old grandpa: one brother only remains of this large family, Prof. J. Eli Payne of Brownstown.
For over 43 years Mr. Payne has been an honored member of the Masonic Fraternity belonging to the Salem Lodge.
He had never united with any church, but had confessed his Savior and was a firm believer that “the righteous should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Mr. Payne will be missed in the community where he has lived all his three-score and almost ten.
Honest in his convictions, respected by his neighbors, and beloved by his family, a good man is gone.
Oh, our loved ones how we miss them
In the heart and in the home;
How our fancies pause and listen
For the feet that never come.
Yet, what hand would break their slumber?
Who would call them back to life?
From the rest, and peace, and quiet
To a world of pain and strife!
The funeral was preached at Olive Branch, Sunday, Dec. 1st, by Rev. Martin Brock of Borden. The large gathering of people testified to the respect and esteem in which Mr. Payne and his family were held. The Masons attended in a body, taking charge after the funeral, at the church, and gave their beautiful and impressive service at the grave of their departed brother in the Olive Branch cemetery.

HORIZON
“I watched a sail until it dropped from sight
Over the rounding sea. A gleam of white,
A last far-flashed farewell, and, like a thought
Slipt out of mind, it vanished and was lost.
“Yet to the helmsman standing at the wheel
Broad seas still stretched beneath the gliding keel,
Disaster? Change? He felt no slightest sign,
Nor dreamed he of that far horizon line,
“So may it be, perchance, when down the tide
Our dear ones vanish. Peacefully they glide
On level seas, nor mark the unknown bound
We call it death – to them ‘tis life beyond.”
Author Unknown
Funeral services were held at Dennis Chapel on Monday Feb. 17 conducted by Rev. E. C. McKinney of the Methodist Church and Bro. Robert Gill of the Highway Church at Pekin. Burial was in Crown Hill Cemetery.
