Hubert W. Wigle, an extensive farmer of Gosfield South, has served as mayor of the village of Kingsville, and is one of the leading men of the township. His grandfather was John Wigle, who married Susanna Scratch, and among their children was Adam R. Wigle.
     Adam R. Wigle was born June 14, 1824, on Lot 2, South-eastern Division of Gosfield township, where he began for himself upon 200 acres, comprising Lot 2, of his father's estate, and he worked steadily, clearing off his land. First, he occupied a log house, as did the majority of the settlers, and lived in it for ten years, when in April, 1857, he completed the solid stone house now occupied by our subject. Upon this large property Adam R. Wigle carried on general farming, and he lived to see all his land cleared and placed in a good state of cultivation. His death occurred at the home place, Oct. 16, 1888. Politically he was a sturdy Grit, and he served his township as treasurer for four years. In religious belief he was a Methodist, a took a prominent part in the affairs of that Church, serving for years as class leader, trustee and steward.
     On Dec. 1, 1846, Mr. Wigle was united in marriage with Lucinda L. Buchanan, who survives him and makes her home with Hubert Wigle. She was born in Colchester township, Jan. 18, 1829, a daughter of John Buchanan, a pioneer resident of that township. To them were born the following children: (1) Almeron, who died aged thirty-three years, married (first) Laura Van Orman, by whom he had two children, Florence and Percival; he married (second) Linda Harris, who also bore him two children, Leland and Louie. (2) Adeline married Rev. Thomas Gee, of Illinois, and has two sons, Roy and Forest. (3) Caroline, whose death occurred in 1874, married (first) Harry Hillis, of St. Thomas, Ont., and (second) George Robbin, of Rednersville, Ont.; (4) Margaret, who died aged forty years, married James Doane, a druggist of Kingsville, and has three children, Gertrude, Nina and Harry. (5) Hubert W.
     Hubert W. Wigle, the youngest of the family, was born in the stone house he now occupies, June 24, 1857, and grew up on the home place, enjoying the advantages of the village school. At his father's death he came into possession of the farm, on which he carries on general farming. He is one of the most progressive and ambitious farmers of the township. Like his father before him he is a Grit in political views. In 1893 and 1894, he served as a member of the township council, and in 1895, 1896 and 1897, he was reeve of Kingsville. For eight years he served as a member of the school board. He, his wife and children are all members of the Methodist Church, and Mrs. Wigle is the leader of the choir, while his daughter is the organist.
     In 1880 Mr. Wigle was married to Almeda Baslaugh, of the County of Oxford, Ont., who was born Dec. 28, 1861, daughter of Charles and Sarah (Durkey) Baslaugh. One daughter, Flossie R., a most charming and accomplished young lady, has been born of this marriage. Fraternally Mr. Wigle is a Mason, a member of the Modern Workmen and Foresters, all of Kingsville, and he is very highly respected by a wide circle of friends.
