Notes	The 1900 census says he was born Nov 1856 but his bio say Nov 19, 1855 (ADV 9/14/09). Adelbert D. Payne ADELBERT D. PAYNE, the accommodating and courteous postmaster of Bainbridge, was born in the village of Bainbridge, November 19, 1855, and is a son of Dennis W. and Elizabeth (Avery) Payne and a grandson of William Payne. William Payne was a shoemaker by trade, living in the State of Rhode Island where he was born, until he came to Chenango County, NY, where he followed his trade until his death, which occurred inthe town of Guilford. Dennis W. Payne, our subject's father is one of the best known carpenters of Bainbridge, having been a resident of the town for about forty-four years. Many of the building in this locality bear witness to his industry and efficiency. He was married to Elizabeth Avery and four children were born to them: Franklin G lives in Bainbridge also; Cora E. is the wife of John R. Wilcox of Milford of Otsego County. The father of our subject's mother, Leonard Avery, was born in Connecticut in 1803. Mr. Avery came to the town of Bainbridge, where he owned and operated a large saw-mill. He was a Democrat and voted for Jackson, was one of the best posted men of his community, a great reader, and one who retained in great part what he read. He entered his last sleep in the villageof Bainbridge, and was there laid to rest. Adelbert D. Payne attended the common schools of Bainbridge, and then entered the employ of the Gilbert Manufacturing Co., with which concern he worked for ten years, a faithful and trusted employee. He then accepted a position with the Delaware and Hudson R.R. at Bainbridge, as baggage master, which he continued to fill until 1894, when he was appointed postmaster at that place and took charge. His record as postmaster is among the best since the office was first created; he has proven himself an able and efficient public servant, a fact that is realized by the patrons of the office. Mr.Payne was united in marriage with Miss Cora May Bundy, February 26, 1884. He is a member of Susquehanna Lodge No. 167, F.& A.M. and is also connected with the Episcopal Church, being one of the vestrymen. He is one of the trustees of the village.
