Portrait and Biographical Album of
Huron County, Michigan
Pub. Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884

           [293-294]

           HENRY F. PANGBORN, farmer, resident on section 23, Verona
        Township, was born Dec. 2, 1842, in Canada, and is the son of
        THOMAS and ELIZA PANGBORN. He was reared to manhood in the manner
        common to the training of farmers' sons in the Dominion, and came
        to the township where he has since resided, in 1867. He had become
        comfortably located and fairly started in business life when the
        first season of loss and disaster overtook Sanilac County. In the
        fire of 1871, MR. PANGBORN lost his house and other property,
        reaching an aggregate of several hundred dollars. In the fall of
        the same year he bought the farm on which he has since resided. It
        contains 80 acres, with 60 acres under cultivation. In the fire of
        1881 he experienced a loss of $2,000, his house, barn, grain hay,
        fences, orchards and stock being destroyed. There was no insurance
        on the property. MR. PANGBORN has made the improvements on his
        place himself, and is fast replacing substitutes for all the farm
        fixtures which perished in the flames.
           He was married Oct. 19, 1868, in Verona Township, to MRS. MARTHA
        (NOONAN) CURRIE, widow of ALEXANDER CURRIE. She was born June 17,
        1842, in Canada, 21 miles from the city of Ottawa, whither her
        parents removed from Ireland in 1840. They removed in 1858 to
        Verona Township, and bought 160 acres on section 15. Her father,
        JOHN NOONAN, died there in 1875. Her mother, MARY (McLAUGHLIN)
        NOONAN, is living with HENRY PANGBORN, her son-inlaw, in Verona
        Township. MRS. PANGBORN has three sisters and one brother — JAMES
        NOONAN, a farmer, located near Bad Axe; ELLEN, wife of JOHN SCOTT,
        of Verona Township; MARY A. (MRS. HENRY PANGBORN); KATE, wife of
        BYRON DAVIS, a painter at Bad Axe. MRS. PANGBORN became the wife of
        ALEXANDER CURRIE in Paris Township, Huron Co., July 10, 1860. He
        was a native of Canada, and was drowned in 1866, in the Mississippi
        River, where he was plying his vocation of sailor.  MARY E. and
        ELECTA A. CURRIE are the names of the children born of the first
        marriage of MRS. PANGBORN.
