Biography of Samuel Paine

From HISTORY OF MADISON COUNTY
W. H. Beers [Chicago, 1883]


Page 917

SAMUEL PAINE, farmer, P. O. London, was born in Ross County, Ohio, January 20, 1820, and is the son of Jesse and Ann (Griffith) Paine, Natives of Maryland, the former of English and the latter of German decent, who came to this county in the latter part of 1820, and settled seven miles southeast of London. Our subject was married, in 1858, to Sarah Black, by whom he hits one child -- William, born in 1859. Mrs. Paine is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church; Mr. Paine is a life long farmer. He began life as a poor boy, working by the month for three years and has given his attention to anything by which he could turn an honest penny; he has driven cattle from here to the Eastern market at Philadelphia, and now, though over threescore years of age, he is full of vigor and is capable of doing a hard day's work at anything.
