Payne, Archie
Richmond Archibald Payne (Archie) was born in 1881. He was appointed collector in 1910 and became a municipal clerk in 1911, serving until retirement in 1945. He also served as Magistrate from 1946-1957. He served in the army and was granted leave from his municipal career during the war years. In 1914, prior to WWI, Archie Payne was one of a group of military minded horsemen in Langley who organized training sessions in order to prepare for the rumoured war. While in France during WWI, it was Archie Payne and Langley's Dr. Benjamin Butler Marr who decided that if they ever returned to Langley they would have the streets named after their fallen comrades. They both returned to carry out this project. Archie Payne died on October 15, 1957, at the age of 75.
