Madelyn Lee Payne was born in October 1922 in the tiny town of Peru, Kan. Not long thereafter, Rolla Payne moved his young family to the nearby boomtown of Augusta, population about 5,000.

It was a place that Obama would describe in his memoir, “Dreams From My Father,” as one “where decency and endurance and the pioneer spirit were joined at the hip with conformity and suspicion and the potential for unblinking cruelty.”

Rolla and his wife, Leona, a teacher, lived in a “company house” at the edge town. The one-story frame house had three bedrooms, an indoor bathroom, a front porch that went the full width of the house and another enclosed one out back where Leona Payne did the family laundry.

Behind the house were the racks where the oil company stored its pipe, and about 100 feet away was the office where Rolla Payne worked. Next door was the empty lot where the Paynes and the other neighborhood kids played baseball.

Madelyn was the oldest of four children. Fifteen years separate her and the baby, Jack.

“She called us ‘the kids,’” remembers her younger sister, Margaret Payne , who shared a bedroom with Madelyn and is known in the family by her middle name, Arlene.

“I would say she more liked to ignore us,” says Payne , 82, a retired statistics professor now living in Chapel Hill, N.C. “But that was the age difference, and not that she was mean or anything.”
