His wife passed away in 1891, aged sixty-four years. In Colchester South he married Zoah Marontate, also of an old County of Essex family.

Alanson Iler, one of the leading prosperous farmers of Colchester South, is a representative of one of the pioneer families of this locality.
     John Iler, his father, was born in Grosse Ile Aug. 15, 1806, and was six years old when the family came to Colchester, where he grew up. He learned the trade of shoemaking, and for a time had a small shop on the front of Lot 41, where he worked at his calling. Later he came into possession of about 136 acres on Lot 40, and assisted by his sons, did the clearing. He continued his shoemaking for some years, and after a long and useful life, died Feb. 19, 1877, aged nearly seventy-one years. On March 23, 1830, he married Susan Wigle, who was born in Gosfield Nov. 18, 1813, and who died March 25, 1889... In politics he was originally a Reformer. He was a very prominent member of the Baptist Church, which he served as deacon for many years, and for a long time he led the church singing, a position now filled by his oldest son Peter. To John and Susan (Wigle) Iler came children as follows: ... Alanson was born Dec. 29, 1854; Eliza, born April 30, 1859, died April 30, 1859.
     Alanson Iler was born on the home place, Dec. 29, 1854, and received a good, common school education. At the age of twenty-two years he began his business career on the homestead of 136 acres...
     Fraternally Mr. Iler is a member of the I.O.O.F. and the Workmen at Harrow, of which latter lodge he is a charter member. All the members of his father's family have given their support toward the Baptist Church, and our subject is one of its most liberal contributors as well as zealous workers.
     On Oct. 8, 1878, Mr. Iler married in Colchester South, Miss Emma Wright, who was born on the old homestead in Colchester South Dec. 5, 1853, a daughter of Joseph Wright.
