Cortus Payton is the son of Robert B. Payton and Fannie Ellen Miller. After his father's death his mother married John W. Ford. This memorial includes a link to her memorial, but I have not yet found where his father is interred.

Cortus does not appear to have a middle name. Of all the sources I have for him there has never even been a hint of a middle name... not even a middle initial.

Additionally, many versions of his name pop up. However, the most popular... and the one used in his obituary is 'Cortus'.

According to the 1930 census enumeration, Cortus married Nora A. Patterson about 1912. She died in 1976.

I do not have a photograph or transcription of the tombstone of Cortus Payton. Instead, his vital information and burial location are based on the following sources:

1. WWI Draft Registration Card
2. WWII Draft Registration Card
3. Kentucky, Vital Record Indexes, 1911-1999
4. United States Social Security Death Index
5. Obituary of Cortus Payton from NewsPapers.com, The Courier-Journal (Louisville, Kentucky), Saturday, May 8, 1965, Page 13
6. Census Enumerations from 1900 through 1940
