Capt. W. W. Payne, one of the oldest and most popular conductors on
the southern Railway, died at his home in Harrisonburg, last Monday at 2:50 a.m.
in the 55th year of his age.
Capt. Payne was the oldest son of Gen. Wm. H.
Payne, who won an excellent reputation as a cavalry officer of the army of
Northern Virginia. Cant. Payne was well known along the Southern Railway, and
especially on the Valley branch where he had spent the latter part of his life.
He had many warm friends at eery station. He died from gall stones which are
said to have perforated the gall bladder, causing peritonitis. he was taken ill
suddenly last Wednesday, about 5 minutes before his train was to start. It was
at first thought that he was suffering from scute indigestion. His sickness was
not thought to be of a serious character until Saturday. He got up and dressed
Saturday morning but shortly after 9 o'clock was taken suddenly ill. His
physicians were hastily summoned. They found that the gall stone had perforated
the bladder and that peritonitis had developed. Later Saturday evening he became
unconscious and remained in that condition until his
death.
