Payne's life was so varied as to appear kaleidoscopic. At the end of the Civil War in which he had served with the 4th Kansas Infantry, Payne remained actively associated with the military. Through this activity which carried him in 1868 into Colorado, New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle, he became acquainted with the land he later was to champion- Oklahoma. Reputed to have become inspired to open Oklahoma Country to white settlement through conversations with Colonel E. C. Boudinot in 1879, Captain Payne incessantly strove to settle this new land until his death on November 27, 1884. His name is respected for his dauntless spirit. Heedless alike of obstacles and sneers, he had kept his one great purpose in mind. Unfor- tunately, though his death prevented him from realizing its accomplishment.
