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.
