Biography

Jeremiah Frank Payne was born on 5 Jun 1827 at Lockport, Niagara, New York to Hiram and Calista (Smith) Payne^[1]. Jeremiah was educated in NY and reared on a farm.

Jeremiah married Patience Jane Salsbury on 14 Jul 1849 at Spencer, Medina, Ohio^[2].

Jeremiah and Patience moved frequently, residing in Elyria, Lorain, Ohio by 1850^[3] where their daughter Sylvia Calista was born; in Penfield, Lorain, Ohio by 1853 where their son Frank Ernest was born^[4]; in Rutland, Dane, Wisconsin by 1860^[5]; in Lima, Rock, Wisconsin by 1863^[6]; and in Solon, Kent, Michigan by 1876^[7].

Jeremiah was ordained as a minister in 1856, organized 100 societies of the United Brethren Church, and dedicated 30 churches. His first year of ministerial work was spent in WI, where he itinerated, traveling afoot and preaching wherever opportunity served, sometimes under shelter, sometimes in the open air. He did most of his work in WI and some in OH^[8].

After Jeremiah lost his mother, his wife, and his daughter to typhoid in Jan 1892^[9], he married Martha (Tiffany) Newbre on 18 Dec 1894 at Cedar Springs, Kent, Michigan^[10]. They divorced over 7 years later on the grounds of cruelty by the husband^[11].

Jeremiah passed away on 15 Mar 1905 at Reedsburg, Sauk, Wisconsin^[12], and was buried in the Elmwood Cemetery at Cedar Springs, Kent, Michigan^[13].
