Charles M Tweedie

Marriages 

1) Sarah M. Sleeper 18 February 1876 Houlton, Aroostook, Maine

2) Sarah F Lansil 15 January 1895 Caribou, Aroostook, Maine

ALERT: according to this (Charles' second marriage record) he was a widower,
BUT, Sarah M Sleeper has vital records that prove he wasn't. At this point,
I am going to look for a divorce record.

Second page of Marriage #2
Shows parentage of Charles and Sarah #2
Proving he is the Charles that had been married to Sarah #1

3) Evelyn Marie Brooks 11 March 1916 Rumney, Grafton, New Hampshire

William Le Grande Payne

Birth 9 June 1893 Fillmore, Millard, Utah

Occupation(s): Salt Lake City Police Chief 1931-1936 

Special Agent/National Auto Theft Bureau 1936- retirement

From History - SLCPD

The election of 1931 brought a different political party into power, and with it Chief Joseph Burbidge was replaced by Chief William Payne.

Chief Payne had been with the department in 1914, however had later joined the FBI until he was selected to be Police Chief. He brought with him new and fresh ideas on administering police functions. Uniforms, regulations, and firearms were again standardized. New equipment was purchased. The City did not have funds for some of the new equipment and therefore Payne, being from a wealthy family, purchased much of it out of his own pocket. Under his administration the department was overhauled and refurbished.

Chief Payne believed in “operating out of the front office”. He felt that he needed to have an active involvement in enforcement of the law and did so. Payne introduced radio communications to further enhance the ability to respond to criminal activity. Use of the teletype was inaugurated during Payne’s administration, and Salt Lake City became the monitoring station for many of the outlying police and sheriff’s departments. Payne attempted to deal with the increasing “juvenile” problems, but later admitted he was stumped for a solution to many of the youth problems. He attempted to counter some of the problems by referring youth to parental or church authority. Chief Payne did institute the first Youth Bureau within the department, recognizing that minors had to be dealt with differently than adults.

In 1936, Chief Payne resigned and went to work for the National Auto Theft Bureau.
