He was a blacksmith like his father.
Father born in Illinois; in 1870 Census Lorin [sic] is enumerated in the family of Charles H. Payne, age 42 b. Ohio, and wife Sophia, age 41, b. NY. He belongs in fact to the following family of Charles H. Payne, age 21, b. Ill, and Betsy Paine, age 18 b. IL. He was enumerated with the family of his grandparents Charles H. and Sophia Paine. In the 1860 Census the father Charles H. Payne age 10 b. IL is found in the household of Henry and Sophia Payne in Harrisburgh Village, Linn, Oregon. In the 1900 Census Lorin states that his parents were born in Illinois. This was the key to connecting him to this family.

1880 Census, Harrisburg, Linn, Oregon 40 Moore Street, 10 June 1880 There are three mistakes in the FamilySearch indexing for Loren. First, the indexing gives the surname as Painew, when it is clearly written as Paine. The "W" in the race column is interpreted as "M" for "Mexican." The relation to Sophia Paine is given as "Sister" when it is clearly written as "Son." She is 52 and he is 11, so I conclude he is her grandson rather than her son. line 11 Paine, Sophia W F 52 divorced keeping house & washing b. NY parents b.

The brother Augustus "Guss" Paine has a birthdate of August 1869 in the 1900 Census. This is problematic because Loren's birthdate in the 1900 Census is given as November 1869.
I do not know when and where Loran H. Paine died. The death date of 8 Oct 1977 and place Centralia, Lewis, WA belong to his son Loran Leroy Paine. In about 2005 I was leading a genealogy workshop in Marysville, Snohomish, Washington, where I met a gentleman with a query about his ancestor, Loran H. Paine, who, he said, had disappeared leaving his wife and children behind. He suspected that Loran had enemies.
