Paine, Eli, was a native of Otsego county, and was a pioneer in Barre, he having settled in the town about 1814,
at what is now called Sheldon's Corners (now in Albion). After living some time in this vicinity Mr. Paine purchased
the farm now owned by his son, Corydon D. Paine, where he lived and died. At Phelps Eli Paine married Mary Barber,
and they had one child, Corydon D. Eli Paine died in 1863, his wife in 1861. Corydon D. Paine, who is recognized
as one of Barre's most thrifty farmers, and one of the leading men of the town as well, was born June 29, 1823.
He has always been a farmer, yet early in his life he taught a winter school. On June 18, 1850, he married Nancy
Caroline, daughter of Col. Elisha Wright, and they have had six children; Helen A., wife of A. D. Bannister; Cyene
A., wife of F. D. Hill; Emory C. of Barre; Luella C., wife of H. L. Cloak; C. Estelle, who died in childhood, and
Fletcher W., now living at home. Although a lifelong resident of Barre and a man deeply interested in public affairs,
Mr. Paine has never sought political office. He is a Republican, was originally a Whig. He is a prominent member
of the W. Barre M. E. Church, in which he has held all the society offices, was choristor thirty years, and has
been superintendent of the Sunday school. Mr. Paine was formerly connected with the Albion M. E. Church.
