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

           [311-312]

           HENRY PANGBORN, farmer and breeder of stock, section 22, Verona
        Township, was born Sept. 13, 1837, in Brock Township, Ontario Co.,
        Can. He is the son of JOHN and BARBARA (SHIER) PANGBORN, and his
        father was a lumberman and farmer in the Dominion, in the first of
        which occupations he assisted until he was 18 years old, when he
        began to work chiefly on the farm. The family came to Verona Town-
        ship in 1862, when the father bought 160 acres of land on section
        25, in the southeastern part of the township. In 1863, MR. PANGBORN
        bought his farm of 200 acres, where he has since pursued agricul-
        ture of a high character, and has 115 acres under cultivation. He
        also deals in cattle. He was a heavy loser by both the fires which
        have devastated Huron County. In the first he was compelled to
        witness the destruction of his barn, which was filled with farm
        products, his granary, farm implements, fences, etc., entailing a
        loss of $2,000. In 1881 he lost fences and five head of cattle. His
        house became the refuge for several families who lost everything,
        and he gave them shelter from one to three months, as the emergency
        demanded.
           MR. PANGBORN has been an active and useful member of society,
        and of the community to which he belongs. He has been Supervisor
        five years, and has discharged the duties of the school offices a
        number of years. He has been deeply interested in the official
        duties of the several positions he has held. The parents of MR.
        PANGBORN are residing with his brother JOHN in this township.
           His marriage occurred Jan. 22, 1866, in Verona Township, to MARY
        A. NOONAN, daughter of JOHN and MARY (McLAUGHLIN) NOONAN. She was
        born Sept. 4, 1848, in Canada, 21 miles south of the city of
        Ottawa. The father of MRS. PANGBORN died Oct. 11, 1877, in Verona
        Township, aged 59 years. Her mother was born in August, 1817, and
        is still living, with her daughter. The latter is the mother of
        seven children: JOHN A. V., MARY A., ALBINA G., NELLIE M., SAMUEL
        H., MATILDA B. and BERTHA M.
           It is with a considerable degree of satisfaction that the pub-
        lishers of this work are permitted to place the portrait of MR.
        PANGBORN among its pages. Truly, the citizens of the county will
        recognize in the likeness one whose interest is in common with
        their own and a representative citizen of the county.
