Mrs. James M Payne of Charleston died at her home last Wednesday and was buried the following day.
Her brother-in-law, E M Payne, of this place, was there at the time of her death.
Mrs. Payne was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Abney of Louisiana. In 1879 she came to Charleston to make her home with her brother, Mr. F W Abney. By her charming personality she became one of the social leaders of Charleston, and during her lifetime, before her recent illness, she held this position among her friends. In October, 1881, she was married to Mr. Payne, of Charleston, and to them were born three sons - Abney, James and Francis - who with a devoted husband, two sisters of Louisiana and one brother, Frank Abney, of Charleston, mourn her death.
Nearly twelve months ago Mrs. Payne was stricken with an insidious disease and after a month's careful nursing at home she was taken to the Johns Hopkins Sanitarium at Baltimore, where she bravely fought against the dread disease which was gradually bringing her nearer death's door. From the first physicians there claimed there was but little hope, and it was the one desire of Mrs. Payne to spend her last moments in her own home in Charleston surrounded by her relatives, and two months ago the doctors consented to her returning to her home, where she died.
