The Argentine Advocate Tuesday February 14, 1888 Died.--At her home near this city, at about 4 o'clock on Friday evening last Feb. 3rd, 1888, Mrs. Mary E. PAYNE, mother of Thomas J. Payne, aged 63 years. In the death of Mrs. Payne, Wyandotte county loses one of its oldest and most highly respected inhaitants. The deceased came to this place with her husband, Stephen J. Payne, in the year 1855, and has continously resided here up to the time of her death. Mr. Payne, her husband, having been killed by guerrillas in 1863, the widow remained single and raised a large family, who have grown into useful manhood and womanhood under her kindly Christian influence. Her personal history, if written, would show marked characteristics of self-denial for her children, Christian fortitude under affliction, and an even, well balanced Christian life, replete with good works. Though dead, she lives in the hearts of her children, and is a sweet memory of hundreds of the oldest and best citizens in this section. She was buried on Sunday last, Feb. 5th, funeral services being conducted by Rev. Frank Streeter, of this city.
