Caleb Payne is a native of Monroe Co., Ky, was born in 1844, and is a son of Reuben and Sarah Norman Payne. Caleb was the ninth child of a family of twelve and received but a limited education at the common schools of the vicinity in which he lived. He was but eleven years of age at the death of his father, and when fourteen left his native State, and came to Sullivan Co. with his brother John Payne, now a resident of Madison, Neb. After arriving at Missouri he spent a year farming and attending school, and clerked eighteen months for Lane & McClanahan. In the spring of 1862 he went to Denver city, Colo. with a herd of cattle, the journey occupying the time between May 10 and August. He remained West three years engaged in stock dealing and mining. In 1865 he returned to Nebraska City, Neb, and in 1866 to Milan, Mo. and the following year returned to his birthplace, where he spent one year. In 1868 he again came to Milan, and in 1869 went to Kentucky returning with his sister. In 1870 he traded in cattle at St. Louis, and the following year established a livery stable, in which he was interested until 1874. During that year he engaged in business in Scottsville, and in the fall was united in marriage to Miss Martha E. Lane, daughter of Thomas Lane, a pioneer settler of Sullivan Co. Mrs. Payne was born in Sullivan Co. in 1853, and is the mother of three children: Norman, Nova and Harry C. In the fall of 1875 he returned to Sullivan Co., and purchased a farm of 120 acres, upon which he farmed and speculated in stock, hogs and cattle. In 1878 he was elected as collector of Sullivan co., to which office he was re elected in 1880, but in 1881 was deprived of his office by the law of township organization coming into effect. Since 1881 he has dealt in horses, real estate and paper, and is one of the substantial men of the town owning three business houses in Milan, two dwelling houses and 250 acres of land. He is one of the oldest business men in Milan, and greatly interested in all laudable public enterprises. May 12, 1887, he lost about $1500 by fire, but is now erecting a brick two story business house 20 x 80 feet, adjoining the one burned by fire, giving him two substantial buildings in the block. In politics he is a Democrat and in Masonry a member of the Chapter.
