           [209]

           JOHN C. PANGBORN, farmer, section 20, Verona Township, was born
        Nov. 18, 1851, at a place in Canada situated northeast of Toronto.
        His parents, JOHN and BARBARA (SHIER) PANGBORN, came to Verona
        Township in 1862 and bought 160 acres of land on section 35.  On
        this they resided until they had cleared and otherwise improved 80
        acres, when they sold the place. They are both living at the home
        of their son.
           MR. PANGBORN bought a farm in 1879, which included 40 acres of
        land. The home farm now contains 120 acres, with 70 acres under
        cultivation.  MR. PANGBORN cleared 68 acres himself. He also built
        his barn and a part of his residence. In 1881 he lost his barn, all
        the year's crop of grain and hay, together with his fences and much
        miscellaneous property, such as the progress of years accumulates
        in the possession of every farmer. He rebuilt his barn, and in the
        fall of 1883 repeated privately the experience of two years before,
        losing his barn, grain, hay, implements and all his farm fixtures,
        except a wagon and a set of harness. The loss in both fires was
        about $3,000, with no insurance.
           MR. PANGBORN was married Jan. 12, 1880, at Sand Beach, to ELLEN,
        Daughter of WILLIAM and SUSANNAH (CONBOY) TAYLOR, a native of Can-
        ada.  Two children have been born of this union, - ALTON C., Jan.
        8, 1883, and MORTON C., Dec. 29, 1883.  MR. PANGBORN was Treasurer
        of his township in 1881-2.
