Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884 [217] GEORGE PANGMAN, farmer, resident on section 24, Verona Township, is the son of STERLING and JANE (MILLS) PANGMAN, and was born Nov. 2, 1844, in Ontario Co., Can. He began to apply himself to the carpenter's trade when he was 16 years old, and followed it for several years. In 1866 he came to the township of Verona and bought 80 acres of land. He increased his estate by the purchase of 20 acres additional in 1871, and has cleared and improved about 60 acres. MR. PANGMAN was married March 27, 1870, at Verona Mills, to ELLEN PANGBURN. She was born in York Co., Can., May 10, 1846, and is the daughter of JOHN and BARBARA (SHIER) PANGBURN. Three chil- dren were born to Mr. and Mrs. PANGMAN on the homestead farm. LENA MAY was born July 14, 1872, and died Sept. 5, 1874; CARRIE L. was born Aug. 15, 1875; and SILAS E. was born Jan. 22, 1877. Since coming to Huron County, MR. PANGMAN has worked at his trade to the extent of erecting his farm buildings, and in the summer of 1883 he assisted in constructing the Verona grist-mills. He passed through and suffered loss in both the fires that have swept over Huron County. The family resided at Verona Mills in 1871, in a rented house, which was burned and their furniture with it, at a loss of about $500. The loss in 1881 was about $2,000, the fire destroying a fine house, barn, farming implements, fences, and the accumula- tions of years, besides the crop of that year, including 200 bush- els of wheat, oats, peas, etc., much of which had been placed in the barn a week previous. He had an insurance of $1,300, but never recovered it. =========================================================================== If you've reached this file through a SEARCH, you can access more of our growing collection of FREE online information by going to the following URL: http://www.us-data.org/ ===========================================================================
