ELDER J. H. P. PAYNE, was born
a slave of the John Brand estate, at
Lexington, Kentucky, on the 22d of October, 1847.
At the age of sixteen years he ran oft' from his owners and
went to Camp Nelson, Kentucky, where he enlisted as a
soldier in Company D, of the 114th Regiment U. S. C. troops,
in June, 1864. Having served as a private for three
years, he was honorably discharged from the service, at
Louisville, Kentucky, in April, 1867; he came thence to
Greene county, Ohio, where he lived and labored, and, in
1868, took up the study of law, which he did during late
hours at night and spare hours during the day. Having
practiced law a while, he then joined the Christian Church,
at Xenia, Ohio, under the administration of Elder Rufus
Conrad. About four months after his admission
to the church, having taken such great interest in the
church and evinced such great knowledge of Christianity, he
was urged to go to school, at the expense of the church, and
prepare for the ministry. His father, Jacob
Payne, was in debt for a home he had purchased, and he (Elder
Payne) preferred remaining to help his father out of
debt and studying at home, which he did. For his
faithfulness to his church. First-day school and parents,
his school and church learned to love him, and ordered
Elder Kinchem Sledge to ordain him, which he did.
Elder Payne lived ten years in Greene county,
and during all that time taught First-day school. He
left for Columbus in December, 1876. He stayed in
Columbus to preach for a small congregation of white and
colored brethren, and read medicine. His eyes becoming
too weak, after reading law, theology, and medicine, by
lights at night in his father's little log cabin, he was
compelled to temporarily give up the study of medicine.
Elder Payne was then called to the Christian
Church, on the corner of Fifth and Illinois streets,
Indianapolis, Indiana, where he preached for the love of the
Divine Master, and labored for a livelihood. It was
there he met with the honor of being the best and most
simple Sunday schoolteacher known to the State Sunday-school
Secretary in the State. On arriving at Columbus he
took up the tonsorial profession, which enabled him to
continue his medical studies, which he had pursued for
nearly four years, with S. H. Adams, of Cedarville,
Ohio, and Drs. McLaughlin and Russell,
of Springfield, Ohio. He had not been in Columbus long
before the colored young men started a military
organization, of which they elected Elder Payne
Second Lieutenant. He remained with them a year, and
having a call from Springfield, Ohio, he resigned his
commission to go to his medical studies and preach, after
staying five years in Columbus, Ohio. Mrs. S. E.
Alston, whom he married on the 12th of May, 1880, joined
his church, and was baptized by Elder Brewer,
of the Central Christian Church, of Indianapolis, who has
assisted since in his Christian, as well as domestic,
affairs. When he had been there nearly a year he found
his health declining from hard work, preaching, too much
study, and change of climate, and was advised by Dr. R.
N. Todd to leave off so much work, and retire to some
quieter place. Accordingly he gave up his pulpit, sold
out his business, and came to New Lexington, where his
health is improving, and he is preaching occasionally for
the churches around him, and is well thought of.
