Jane Peyton
Jane Peyton (October 26, 1870 – September 8, 1946), was an American lead and supporting actress whose career did not commence until she was nearly thirty. Over her time on stage she appeared in several long running Broadway plays and successful road tours. Peyton was perhaps best remembered for performances in ''The Ninety and Nine,'' ''The Earl of Pawtucket,'' ''The Heir to the Hoorah,'' ''The Three of Us'' and ''The Woman.'' Once the wife of actor Guy Bates Post, Peyton retired after fourteen years on stage when she married the writer Samuel Hopkins Adams.
==Early life==
Jennie Van Norman was born in Spring Green, Wisconsin, the daughter of George Bosworth Van Norman and Elizabeth Atkinson.〔Southworth, George Champlin Shepard 1897, p.26 ' ''Descendants of Constant Southworth''〕〔SS Santa Elana passenger manifest, New York to Los Angeles, November 11, 1935, Ancestry.com〕 Her father served as a sergeant and later drill master with Company H, Wisconsin 8th Infantry Regiment during the American Civil War. After the war he purchased a small meat packing company in Spring Green that would eventually expand to include branches in Milwaukee and Chicago and employ over 200 workers.〔U.S., Civil War Soldier Records and Profiles, 1861–1865 about George B.

In her youth Peyton gave recitals and sang at social and church gatherings and at G.A.R. functions hosted by her father. She married a local physician after attending Northwestern University and for some years hence her activities would routinely merit a mention in newspaper society pages. With the encouragement of Otis Skinner, in the summer of 1900 she left her family and comfortable life behind and departed for New York for a career in theatre.〔Prefers Stage to Big Fortune.
