William Pangburn the grandfather of Marion E. Pangburn, was born in Pennsylvania, from which state he migrated to Clark County, Ind., as a pioneer. During the War of 1812, in which he served as a soldier, he visited this community and became as favorably impressed with its advantages and opportunities that in 1820 he returned to the region and purchased a tract of land which had originally belonged to the grant of George Rogers Clark, given for services rendered by Clark during the Revolutionary War.

tract of land located about 51/2 miles from the original Pangburn purchase, and on that farm continued to reside during the remainder of their lives.

In 1902 he entered the University of Louisville, Ky., and in 1905 was graduated from the law department, having so assiduously devoted himself to his studies that he finished the four year course in three years. Following his graduation Mr. Pangburn was employed by the Fall City Construction Company, con- tractors and builders as Superintendent, paymaster and timekeeper and in 1906 in this capacity came to Gallatin to assist in the construction of the Courthouse here. He was favorably impressed with the country and peo- ple here and located at Pattonsburg where he bought the law practice of Henry Eads.
