Alfred Wigle, who for twenty-three years has been postmaster at Windsor, belongs to a family which was founded in the County of Essex, one hundred and twenty-five years ago. In 1776 the great-grandfather of Alfred Wigle settled in this country, coming from Pennsylvania, where he had settled on his emigration from Germany. He settled in Gosfield township on Lot 3, and, clearing up this property he purchased, made of it one of the fine farms of that locality, and now it is owned by the fourth generation of the Wigle family. Among the children of the pioneer was one John Wigle, the grandfather of Alfred, who was born in Pennsylvania in 1774, and was only two years old when brought to the then wilderness of the County of Essex. He succeeded his father on the farm, and in due time married Susan Scratch, who was born in the County of Essex in 1789, and who died in 1862; he died in 1868. To this worthy couple were born: Caroline; Leonard; Windle; Judith; Ann; Jane; Peter; Solomon; Adam; Michael, the only survivor, a resident of Kingsville; Robert; Joseph; Mary Ann; and John.
     Solomon Wigle, the father of our subject, was born on the old farm in 1822, and succeeded to the property. While residing on his farm he was reeve of his township for twelve years, and warden of the county for one term, and a member of the Provincial Parliament from 1866 to 1869, one term. In 1886 he left his farm in the hands of his sons, and moved to Kingsville, where he died in 1898, and his wife passed away in 1876. He was treasurer of Gosfield township for a good many years and a Conservative in politics. He married Ann Iler, a sister of Sheriff Iler. She was born in 1826. To this marriage came the following children: Lewis, a resident of Leamington and ex-member of Parliament; Gordon, of California; Alfred; Esther, deceased; Elihu, deceased; Angus, on the farm in Gosfield township; Ernest, a lawyer of Windsor; Ella, deceased.
     Alfred Wigle was born on the old Wigle homestead, July 28, 1848. Upon reaching manhood he clerked for his brother and father for two years in Leamington, and in 1871 he started in business on his own account as a general merchant at Ruthven, where he remained until 1879, when he sold his interests. On Oct. 1, 1880 he entered upon his duties as postmaster at Windsor, which position he has ably filled for twenty-three years.
     Mr. Wigle has been thrice married. On August 6, 1873, by whom he had one daughter, Annie, now the wife of E. J. Moore, of the County of Essex. In 1878 he was married to Miss Allie Snyder, and three children were born to them: Sidney, Nettie and Solomon. In 1893 Mr. Wigle married Miss Annie Bannwell, and they have two children, Madge and Irene.

Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 153-154:
Lewis Wigle, mayor of Leamington, County of Essex, was born at Kingsville, Ont., March 10, 1845, a son of Solomon and Ann (Iler) Wigle.
     Solomon Wigle, ex-member of the Provincial Parliament, was born in Gosfield South, County of Essex, Ont., May 14, 1822, and was a son of John Wigle, who first came from Pennsylvania to Bois Blanc Island, but later settled on the farm where Angus Wige now resides. The family settled in Gosfield South when they had to follow Indian paths through the woods. John Wigle's wife used to take forty or fifty dozen eggs in a basket on horseback to Fort Malden (now Amherstburg) and trade them for the necessities of life. The grain was also transported on horseback. For the first four years after the confederation, from 1867 to 1871, Solomon Wigle represented the entire County of Essex in the Ontario Legislature. He was reeve of the township of Gosfield South for ten or twelve years, and was one of the most representative men of his day. Some six or eight years before his death he removed to Kingsville, where he held the office of township treasurer until the time of his demise. In politics he was a Conservative. When he went to Toronto the government was a coalition one, but when the party split and the opposition took the reins of government he became a Conservative. The death of this truly great man occurred in 1898, when he was seventy-six years of age. He and his wife had a family of seven children, of whom five are now surviving: Lewis, Gordon, of California; Alfred, postmaster at Windsor; Ernest S., an attorney of Windsor; and Angus, who is on the home farm and general agent for the Williams Piano Company of Toronto.
     Lewis Wigle remained at home until he was seventeen years of age, at which time he went to Leamington, and was employed as a clerk in a mercantile establishment for some eighteen months. He then returned home, and as his father had a contract for carrying the mail from Blenheim to Amherstburg, and from Kingsville to Windsor, he drove a four-horse stage from Kingsville to Windsor; he had driven the mail coach when he was only fifteen years of age, and drove the first mail coach over this route. As this was just at the time the Civil war in the States broke out his commissions were many and varied. Accumulating sufficient money, Mr. Wigle returned to Leamington and attended public school for a time, and then embarked in a mercantile business, and continued to be identified with the establishment until his retirement, in 1891. During the years of his residence at Leamington he acquired some valuable realty near the city, on which he carried on farming for a number of years, and in addition to attending to his other interests he bought tobacco extensively for the Empire Tobacco Company, being one of the best known tobacco buyers of this section. Mr. Wigle was instrumental in having constructed the Leamington & St. Clair railroad, and was president of the company until that road was absorbed by the Michigan Central. He built and is the owner of the handsome Wigle block, one of the best business blocks in the town of Leamington.
     In politics Mr. Wigle is a stanch Conservative, and when only twenty-two years of age he began to make his influence felt in politics, beginning to serve at that time as reeve of the township. This office he held until he was twenty-nine, when he was elected to the Ontario Legislature, and had the honor of being the youngest member of that body. Between 1875 and 1882 he served two terms in the house, and in 1882 was further honored by being elected to the Dominion Legislature. He was the only Conservative elected to either house from the South Riding of the County of Essex. Since the confederation he has served three consecutive terms, and he was nominated three times more, and only defeated by thirty-four, fifty-five and eighty-three votes, at the respective elections, in a riding of 25,000 thousand inhabitants. He is the present nominee, for the eighth time, from the South Riding of the County of Essex. In 1902 Mr. Wigle was elected mayor of Leamington, and in 1903 an 1904 was re-elected by acclamation.
     In Nov., 1867, Mr. Wigle was married to Miss Rebecca, daughter of Thomas Hairsine, of Mersea township, and five children were born to this union: Everett, of Leamington, married Maggie McLean; Edith is the wife of S. L. McKay, mayor of Kingsville, and has one daughter, Marjorie; Russell, of Leamington, married Gertrude Awkworth, and has one son, Lewis W.; Mabel and Ella are at home. Mrs. Wigle died in February 1898, and Mr. Wigle later married Mrs. Bertha (Smith) Wray, widow of Dr. Wray, and daughter of Thaddeus Smith, of Pelee Island, although Mrs. Wigle was born in Kentucky...
