Payne, Samuel , Farmer, Harrington. Mr Payne was born at West Bromwich, Staffordshire, England, in 1846, and was brought up to sawing. He came to Port Chalmers in 1873, and soon after his arrival in the colony started sawing at Seaward Downs, and has followed the same line of work ever since. In 1882, he bought a small farm in the Fernhill Village Settlement. The property was then in bush, but it has since been brought under cultivation, and a comfortable house and all the necessary outbuildings have been erected. Mr Payne is agent, at Centre Bush, for the Winton Rabbiters' Co-operative Association, Limited. He was married, in 1867, to a daughter of Mr Thomas Love, mechanical engineer, and has a family of five sons and three daughters.
