• Notes

  Joe Edward was the son of Joe and Mary (Curtis) Payne. He was raised and educated in Olney and graduated from Olney High School, Class of 1955. Following high school, Joe was drafted into the United States Army. He proudly served his country for two years and served for another four years in the United States Army Reserves. During his time in service, he was recognized for his marksmanship as a sharpshooter (Rifle) and was awarded the Good Conduct Medal. Joe worked for Stauffer Chemical as an electrician for over thirty years until retiring. He was a member of the American Legion Post 1080, and in his free time enjoyed wood working. Joe was also a firm believer in doing things yourself, so if anything was broken, he would be the one to try and fix it.
