"... In 1841 Lyman Payne removed with his family to Brighton, near Rochester, New York, and there purchased a large farm which he cultivated with success, the while keeping in close touch with the best thought of the day, for he was throughout life a student. In his new place of residence he obtained early recognition as a man of superior judgement, and he was chosen to represent his district in the state legislature 1853-1854, serving for two years with conspicuous ability.
In 1855 attention to his interests in certain salt wells and coal fields of Virginia led to his removal to that state (now West Virginia). He continued a resident of West Columbia until impaired health led him to return to the place of his nativity. He purchased in 1859 the John T Mack farm on Maple street, Hinsdale, added thereto largely, having a farm of more than six hundred acres at his decease...raised some of the finest horses ever bred in Western Mass. and his Durham and Holstein cattle were equally notable...always found time to devote to public interest...
