- Louis Frisbie Payn (January 27, 1835 – March 19, 1923) was an American manufacturer and politician from New York. A Republican, he was most prominent for serving as United States Marshal for the Southern District of New York from 1887 to 1881 and Superintendent of the New York State Insurance Department from 1897 to 1900. A native of Ghent, New York, Payn was educated in the schools of Columbia County and went into the papermaking business in Chatham. Payn's venture proved successful and he became wealthy as he expanded his holdings into oil production, mining, real estate, and insurance. A Republican, Payn gained a reputation as a behind the scenes insider who wielded substantial influence in the New York Republican Party's inner circles. A delegate to numerous state and national conventions, Payn became an ally of state party boss Roscoe Conkling and Conkling's successor Thomas C. Platt. He served as Marshal for New York's Southern District from 1887 to 1881. A longtime friend of Frank S. Black, Payn played a leading role in Black's election to the United States House of Representatives in 1894 and Governor of New York in 1896. In 1897, Black appointed Payn Superintendent of the New York State Insurance Department. Good government advocates who advocated civil service reform protested the selection because they regarded Payn as a corrupt associate of Platt. When Theodore Roosevelt succeeded Black as governor, he refused to reappoint Payn, which triggered a feud with Platt. The issue was resolved when Roosevelt appointed a different candidate who was acceptable to Platt. After leaving the superintendent's position, Payn returned to his business interests. In retirement, he turned to philanthropy and made numerous donations to benefit Chatham and the surrounding area. Payn died in Chatham on March 19, 1923. He was buried at Chatham Rural Cemetery in Chatham. (en)
