SIMEON W. PAYNE, born in Nelson County, Ky., Feb. 16, 1825, is a son of 
William Payne, who brought his family to this county in 1826 and settled 
in this precinct, where Simeon W. has since resided.  Mr. Payne has 
worked on the same road since sixteen years of age.  He has never seen 
two men fight; never been on the water; never crossed the Ohio River; 
never rode on the cars, or in a buggy.  He was married Nov. 10, 1850, to 
Caroline Head, daughter of William B. Head, of this precinct.  Four 
children were born to them--Raymond C., Claudins I., Julia A. M. and 
William P.  Mrs. Payne died Dec. 5, 1859, and Nov. 18, 1860, at the same 
hour as before, Mr. Payne was again married.  Nine children were born to 
this union, seven now living--Mary E., John E., Thomas L., Teresa A., 
Margaret J., Simeon M. and Michael J.  Richard J. died at the age of 
eighteen and Mary J. when about two years old.  Mr. Payne owns 150 acres 
of good land and is engaged in farming and stock-raising.  The family 
are members of the Catholic church.  Mr. Payne is a firm believer in 
total abstinence.
