[Entered at the Post-office at Wilmington, N. C., as second-class matter.] The death of Dr. R. L. Payne removes a personage familiar to our citizens and conspicuous in the affairs of the North Carolina Medical Society. Robert Lee Payne was born at Lexington. Davidson county, in North Carolina, December 29th, 1834, and was the son of Dr. C. L. Payne, a prominent and influential physician in that place and a grandson of R. L. Payne, of Goochland county, Va. His father and mother were Virginians by birth; the ancestry on the paternal side were English and on the maternal Scotch. He began his literary education at the old Caldwell Institute, Hillsboro, N. C., and continued to prosecute his studies at Davidson College and University of North Carolina. Having thoroughly qualified himself to commence the study of medicine, he was sent to the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, from which Institution he graduated in 1857. He immediately entered his father's office in Lexington, and remained in copartnership with him until his death. After the death of his father he formed a copartnership with his brother, Dr. C. M. Payne (now Rev. C. M. Payne, of Washington, N. C.), then with his son, Dr. . L. Payne, Jr. Dr. Payne joined the North Carolina Medical Society in 1859, and he helped to lay the deep foundation upon which was reared our grand superstructure. His attainments were fully recognized by his fellows, and, as an evidence of their high regard, he was elected Vice-President of the North Carolina Medical Society in 1870, Arnual Orator in 1871, and in 1872 he was elected for six years one of the Board of Medical Examiners, a position for which his character and experience particularly fitted him. Conscious of the grave responsibility he assumed in this capacity, he made his examinations most thorough, but tempered them with such kindness and sympathy as to remove much of that embarrassment and dread which most young physicians expe rience when applying for license. In 1878 the Society conferred upon him their highest honor by electing him as their President. In this capacity he exhibited his strong mind and intellect. Dr. Payne was elected honorary member of the Abingdon Academy of Medicine in 1887. He was elected a member of the North Carolina Board of Health in 1879, and served with distinction for a term of six years. He was again unanimously elected to succeed himself, but declined the proffered honor. He was corresponding member of the Gynecological Society of Boston, of the Meigs and Mason Academy of Medicine, and was examiner of the Confederate Board and Home Guard Board during the late war. For nineteen years he was the attending physician to the Poor House of Davidson county. His natural kindness of heart and his peculiar way well qualified him for this work. Few have possessed more delicate sensibilities, a warmer heart or kinder spmpathies. Especially did his tenderness manifest itself for those unfortunate beings, the poor-none of them were overlooked, none had just cause to feel themselves neglected. There was no selfishness in his ambition; one of his strongest characteristics was his tenderness for everything weak; this was manifested especially toward the young physicians of his acquaintance. His Dr. Payne had other qualifications aside from his chosen profession. enterprise and activity among his townsmen won for him great admiration and a high regard for his opinion in municipal affairs, and in consequence as often as he would accept, he was elected magistrate and commissioner of his town. Dr. Payne was a man of scholastic and literary attainments. He applied himself rigidly to every task, and the works from his pen indicate an erudition much more extensive than the ordinary. In 1887, Davidson College. recognizing his ability and scientific attainments, conferred upon him the honorary degree of Master of Arts. He contributed liberally to the transactions of the North Carolina Medical Society and wrote many articles for the NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL JOURNAL, Medical and Surgical Reporter, Virginia Medical Monthly, Louisville Journal and most of the leading journals of the day, and in all his writings he exhibited strength of thought, sound commonsense and felicity of expression. His article on Diphtheria deserves especial mention, being pronounced by some of our most successful practitioners as worth more to the physician seeking to cure his patients than all other books and papers combined on the subject. This article, with a paper entitled "The Health of Our School-Girls," were reprinted and largely distributed by the Board of Health in the State. Dr. Payne, as a practitioner, was eminently successful, faithful, skilled and much beloved, and enjoyed a very extensive practice. His manner in the sick-room was exceedingly nice, for the time being he seemed oblivious to everything else, concentrating the whole of his powerful nature on the one object of his visit the relieving of his patient. |
