DEATH OF REV. J. N. Payne
Highly Respected and Greatly Beloved Citizen of Morganton Passes to Rest.
It was known that Rev. J. N. Payne had been in feeble, but the town was unprepared for the news of his death which occurred Monday morning at his home on Green street.
The Funeral services of this truly good and devout man was conducted at the Methodist church Wednesday morning at ten o’clock by the pastor, Rev. E. E. Williamson, assisted by Revs. C. E. Gregory, of the Presbyterian church, J. R. Williams, of the Baptist church and H. H. Jordan, of Gastonia. The latter, who was the former pastor of the deceased made a most touching talk of his associations with him. Interment was made in Forest Hill cemetery.
The following sketch of Mr. Payne which was read at the funeral by Rev. Williamson portrays so well his life and work that it is herewith reproduced:
Rev. Jordon Nathaniel Payne was born June 2, 1846, and died June 6, 1915, at the age of 69 years and 4 days.
Mr. Payne was educated at old Rutherford College. He was married to Miss Anne Warlick of this county in 1867. He settled in Morganton in 1886 and has been one of Morganton’s staunch citizens for nearly 30 years. While a student in Rutherford College he was called upon to enter the service of the Confederacy and in 1864 he enlisted as a 17-year-old boy in Company C, 72 N. C. Regiment under Captain L. A. Bristol, of Morganton. He was not only a good faithful soldier in the performing of all military duties but according to the captain he was devoutly religious and faithful to God in all things even during the hard life of the camp which is so often a very hard trial of faith.
Mr. Payne joined the church when a lad just 9 years old and has been a faithful worker for God all the years of his life. He was ordained as a local minister by Bishop Doggett of Greensboro, in 1876. He did a great work for the church in that capacity in the days when Morganton’s circuit was almost half as large as large as the present Morganton district. He preached all over the large circuit, built churches, and helped the hard worked preacher to extend the work of God in Burke county and adjoining territory. He was a man who never boasted of his labors. He was retiring in disposition and rather shunned publicity. He was very fond of his friends and always referred to them as friends who had been a comfort and a blessing to him. He considered Messrs. J. A. Claywell, I. I. Davis and Capt Bristol as lifelong friends, whose encouragement and help had inspired him and whose service had aided him in the old days when he first came to Morganton as a stranger.
In his home he was an ideal father. He had large ambitions for his family and labored patiently to attain his purpose. His son, Mr. Horace Payne, of Morganton, has always been associated with his father, and their interests have been mutual. They have been likened unto Jonathan and David because of their strong attachment and community of interests and in sharing together the joys and sorrows of life.
Rev. Payne will be missed in the community. The church of God has lost a faithful worker, the town a true citizen, the home a noble father.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Mrs. Annie Warlick Payne, and five children: Dr. Bruce R. Payne, president of Peabody University, Nashville, Tenn.; Mr. Max T. Payne, of Greensboro, N. C.; Mr. Horace Payne, of Morganton; Mrs. J. E. Allbright, of Greensboro, and Mrs. J. B. Frix, of Eagle Springs, N. C., who mourn their loss.
