EDMUND'S RESTING PLACE 

Edmund Payne died on the 1st July 1914 at Rosslyn Hill, Hampstead, North London at the age of 50.  The news of his sad death was reported all around the world from New York to Australia.  The Daily Mirror devoted the whole front page to him, reporting his death and the headline read

'Death of "Teddy" Payne, the Famous Laughter Maker'

His funeral took place on Saturday 4th July, 1914 at Abney Park Cemetery, Stoke Newington, North London.  A large crowd gathered to pay their respects to a much loved actor and comedian.  He was buried beside his first wife Emily.
