Payne, Carl John Henry
Payne, Carl John Henry , Farmer, South Hillend. Mr Payne has a small farm in the South Hillend district, and, in partnership with Mr Pettigrew, he supplies, from bush on his property, fencing stakes and timber for drain covering to the surrounding farmers. Mr Payne was born in 1876, at Waikiwi, educated at Limehills, and was employed at general work for some years after leaving school. He then engaged in sawmill work, and afterwards started a sawmill on his own account at Pukearuhe. This mill was worked for two years until the supply of timber was exhausted, and in 1901 Mr Payne took up his present farm. He was married, in 1904, to a daughter of Mr T. Tressler, of “Lady Barkly.”
