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

           [200]

           JOHN H. PROVORSE, farmer, section 18, Lincoln Township, has been
        a resident of Huron County since he was 12 years old. His parents,
        JOHN A. and MELINDA (McDONALD) PROVORSE, were natives respectively
        of New York State and Canada, and in 1855 they removed with their
        family to Huron County. They had eight children.
           MR. PROVORSE, who is the eldest son living, was born Aug. 6,
        1843, in Canada. He was educated in the public schools of the
        Dominion and in the common schools of Michigan, and when he was 15
        years old he engaged in boat building, in which he was occupied six
        years. He has engaged since that time chiefly in lumbering and
        farming. He has been the proprietor of three several (sic) farms
        within the township of Lincoln. In the fall of 1883 he bought the
        property where he is now operating, including 120 acres of partly
        improved land, the latter portion now embracing about 87 acres.  He
        is in sympathy with the Republican element in politics, and has
        held various local official positions.
           His mariage (sic) to REBECCA KIRKPATRICK occurred Oct. 20, 1866,
        at Huron City, Huron County.  Four children have been born to them,
        namely; ALONZO, CLARA A., EMMA and DEBBIE.  The eldest child died
        when four years old.
