     On Friday evening about 9 o’clock at his home east of South Boston, with his loved ones about him, the life of Jacob D. Payne came to a peaceful ending.

     Honest in his convictions, respected by his neighbors, and beloved by his family, a good man is gone.

          Oh, our loved ones how we miss them
           In the heart and in the home;
          How our fancies pause and listen
           For the feet that never come.
          Yet, what hand would break their slumber?
           Who would call them back to life?
          From the rest, and peace, and quiet
           To a world of pain and strife!

HOLY CARD

There is no death! What seem so is transition
This life of Mortal breath;
Is but a suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call death

In Loving Remembrance of
Jeremiah L. Payne,
Died Aug. 1, 1889

A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we lived is stilled;
A Place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.

God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given;
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.
