Mr. Payton moved to Indiana in his early manhood and was married to Miss Mary Ann Hamilton, December 3, 1833. To this union were born twelve children, four boys and eight girls, five of whom have preceeded him to the better world. Those remaining are Melchor and John and Mrs. Jane Ridenour, of Bedford; Mrs. Louis Ridenour, of Beardstown, Ill.; Mr. Jacob Payton, of Shenandoah, and Mrs. W. D. Stitt and Miss Orpha Payton, of Yorktown, all of whom were present at the funeral except Jacob, of Shenandoah, who is in a hospital at Chicago. Mr. Payton was converted early in life and united with the M. E. church, of which he was an active and faithful member during this great span of years. He came to Iowa in 1883 and lived in Clarinda until the death of his wife, when he moved to Bedford and made his home with one of his sons for a number of years. After a number of years he was married the second time. This time to Mrs. Mary A. Greeley, who lived only two years after their marriage. Since then he made his home with his daughter, Mrs. W. D. Stitt, of near Yorktown, the most of the time. But his last days were spent with his daughter, Orpha Payton, in Yorktown. He was a great reader, and took a great interest in religious and political matters; and seemed to remember everything he read. His mind was perfectly clear to the last and was ready and anxious to go. He selected the hymns to be sung and the scripture to be read at his funeral. His life was a long and a useful one, and he went to his reward like a ripe shock of corn to the Master's garner. His work was done and well done. The funeral services were conducted at the M. E. church of Yorktown, by Rev. C. O. Nickols, and the music was furnished by a special quartet composed of John Keener, Harry Maxwell, Ida Morley and Mrs. Parriott. The pall bearers were Lloyd Payton, Ollie and Harry Kenagy, Mart Whitney and Port and David Stitt, all relatives of the deceased. The remains were laid to rest in the Summit Cemetery, northeast of Yorktown. Thus has gone from our midst one of those strong, sturdy types of manhood, who is so much needed in every church and in every community. But it may be said of Grandpa Payton as it was said of Paul, that "He being dead, yet speaketh." CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jun 9, 1910
