Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 614-615:
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. When the family located on Lot 40 the father was obliged to cut down trees to make a place for the house. The present home, which has been entirely rebuilt by our subject, stands some five or six rods from the first house, built of hewed logs. John Iler became one of the very successful farmers of the county. 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: Peter, born Sept. 10, 1831, is a farmer of Colchester; John, born March 17, 1833, died in Australia, Dec. 18, 1873; Jacob, born April 3, 1835, is a farmer and Baptist minister of Osawatomie, Kansas; Henry, born Aug. 27, 1837, is a farmer and former Baptist minister of Clayton, Michigan; Sarah, born Jan. 16, 1840, married H. H. Julien; Elizabeth, born June 30, 1842, is the widow of Timothy Shay, of Harrow; Julia Ann, born Oct. 30, 1843, died Oct. 26, 1870 (she married Rev. Amos Baldwin); Susan, born Nov. 11, 1847, married Capt. Bassett, of Harrow; Jane, born Dec. 30, 1849, married Francis Fox, a prosperous farmer of Colchester South; Linnie, born March 6, 1852, married Robert Fair, of Chicago; 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, and since coming into possession of the property he has entirely cleared some thirty acres, rebuilt the house, and put up all but one of his barns and outbuildings. Everything about the premises denotes that a masterhand is at work. He is a very successful farmer, one of the most enterprising in the County of Essex. In politics he is a Conservative, but has not taken any very active part in local affairs, aside from his supporting the candidates of his party, his personal matters absorbing his attention.
     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. The children of this happy union are as follows: Asa Wilcox, born July 3, 1881; John Wigle, July 13, 1886; Annie Evadne, July 24, 1889; and Allen Clarence, Sept. 21, 1892.
     Mr. Iler, as has already been stated, belongs to one of the old families of the locality. Its members have nobly born their part in the development of County Essex, and endured hardships of which we of this day can have no adequate realization. Yet, among the great forests, surrounded by savages both brute and human, were born men and women destined to take places with the mighty of earth. The stern realities of life early came to their notice, and were overcome. There was much good in the rough, hard life of the pioneer, which called out all that was best and strongest. Many of the old pioneers themselves, in looking back upon those days, and contrasting the upright lives the majority led with the evils of to-day, feel that there was much to be thankful for in spite of hard work, many discouragements and seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers, 1905, p. 235-236:
Cook Wright, an energetic farmer of Malden township, County of Essex, is a descendant of one of the pioneer settlers of Colchester, numbered among the very first to locate in this vicinity.
     Joseph J. Wright, his father, was born in Colchester township, on the homestead farm, near the lake... In Colchester South he married Zoah Marontate, also of an old County of Essex family... His family was as follows: Francis (deceased), married Jennie Harris; Edwin D. of Colchester South, married Sarah Lypps; Emma married Alanson Iler, of Colchester South; Ella married Theodore Langlois; Cook and Clarence are both on the homestead; the latter married Amy McGee.
