Does anyone know the TSBD payroll procedures at the time? Was payday Friday?

Thanks Colin.  You can tell I always bet on the long shots at the racetrack.  Here the odds were 5 to 1 and I still lost.  Sean's input
did show a last payment to Marina on December 03, 1963 which was also a Tuesday.  Now the question that comes up is - Did Lee
ever keep money in the bank?  He seems like he cashed his check every week esp to leave Marina $170.00 on that Thursday morning. 

Thanks to the both of you.

I suggest he did not use a bank. I do not know of any records that indicate he did. Being a "commie" and all. 

It would seem there were two locations to keep his cash before the Thursday visit, the North Beckley rooming house or in his pocket. I suggest the latter is more likely. Once at the Paine's I believe he would normally leave all but weekly living expenses with Marina. Someone might know more or be able to correct these assumptions.

Yeah, your suggestion does seem to be right, Colin.  No banks for Lee for his $.  Either on his person or his rooming house.

From Truly.....

"So I told him if he would come to work on the morning of the 16th, it was the beginning of a new pay period. So he filled out his withholding slip, with the exception of the number of dependents…

Colin, if so, why pay would be paid the day after the end of a pay period. Wouldn't they need time on the following day to assess the pay due?

Just wondering as I wander.
