According to an Anthony, Kansas, obituary James G. Bayne was a native of Kentucky, but then moved to Ohio in early boyhood.
He was a farmer, orator, and very active in politics. He was a member of the Free Soil Party, a short-lived political party active in the 1848 and 1852 presidential elections, and in some state elections. It opposed expansion of slavery into the western territories.
Later a member of the Constitutional Convention of the State of Illinois in 1870, he was a candidate for Congress on the Greenback ticket in 1876, and candidate for Lieutenant-Governor of Kansas on the Greenback ticket in 1882. The Greenback Party (known successively as the Independent Party, the National Independent Party, and the Greenback Labor Party), was an American political party with an anti-monopoly ideology which was active between 1874 and 1889. The party fielded Presidential tickets three times—in the elections of 1876, 1880, and 1884, before fading away.
Judge Bayne was a promoter of first railroad built into Anthony, Kansas.

Inscription
This inscription is on the front of the monument with John W. Bayne (b. 1851) on the west side and Catharine Bayne (1822-1899), his wife, on the east side.
It is in the shadows, so have not been able to get a photo of it, but I will continue to try.
