His generosity and unfailing good nature were always at the service of his friends and his charitable actions were extensive. At the conclusion of his early schooldays Mr. Prowse turned his attention to rural pursuits to such good purpose that his property, "Truro," became one of the show places of the Adelong district. Mr. Prowse married Miss Frances Purcell, daughter of Mr. Charles Purcell, of Wondalga, and thus two of the district's oldest families were linked. He was an astute judge of cattle and sheep and put his knowledge into good effect.
