Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 61-64:
Wigle. The prominent and numerous family of this name in the County of Essex, Ont., is descended from John Wendel Wigle, who was born in Germany in the year 1763... about 1792, when government grants were thrown open to settlers, John W. Wigle and his family settled in Gosfield township, County of Essex, on Lot 6, Eastern Division...
     ... Philip Wigle was born Feb. 14, 1838, in the log house on Lot G, and there passed his youth and early manhood. His chances for education were somewhat limited, the nearest school being some distance from his home, but what he lacked in literary training he more than made up for in experience of a practical nature, for he assisted with the work at home from an early age. When twenty-two years old he was given the east half of Lot H, comprising 100 acres, and at once located there, building a log house at first and later a frame one. He had had plenty of experience in the work of clearing while helping his father, and he set diligently to work clearing up his own land, which in time yielded him a good income. As he prospered he added to his acerage, buying 103 acres in Lots 9, 10 and 11, 1st Concession, directly south of his other property. In 1890 he erected a fine brick dwelling on this tract, and within the next three years put up other buildings, his son Orra C., taking the old home place, upon which he has recently put up a commodious brick house. With the assistance of his brother Jonas, Philip Wigle cut a mile of the 2nd Concession road. Mr. Wigle is not only one of the most prosperous farmers of the township, but likewise one of the most respected, and in his long and useful life he has worthily uphelp the name of the honored old family to which he belongs. Mr. Wigle has not been particularly active in public affairs, though for a period of twelve years he was one of the trustees of school section No. 10, and in 1894 he served as township councillor. His politcal sympathies are with the Liberal party. He has been quite prominent in the work of the Methodist Church, having served as steward for twenty-five years.
     On March 28, 1866, Mr. Wigle was united in marriage with Hannah Wright, daughter of Peter Wright, and five children have blessed this union, namely: ... Orra C., who is on the old home place, married Laura Bockwell, and they have had two children, Garth and Artemus...
