Zacharius Wigle, an enterprising fruit farmer of the fourth generation to occupy the farm he now owns, is one of the leading men of this locality, and a member of an old and long-established family.
     Cyrus Wigle, the father of Zacharius, was born on the present farm, July 28, 1844. At the age of twenty-one years he began farming the homestead property, Lot 10, Concession 3, he having received as his portion the west 100 acres, of which about seventy-five acres were cleared. He completed the work of clearing, and for years carried on the home farm. Some twelve years ago he invested in a fruit farm on the eastern coast of Florida, and since then has spent his winters in that genial clime. Politically he is a Conservative, and as a member of the Ruthven Methodist Church has been active, serving as an offical and on various important committees.
     On Sept. 7, 1864, Cyrus Wigle married Louisa J. McCormick, daughter of Matthew McCormick, of Colchester, and she died March 7, 1893, aged forty-six years. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Wigle were: Arizona, who married Thomas Preston, science master of the Perth High School, and has one son Thomas Frederick; Zacharius; and Alberta May died in 1868, aged nine months.
     Zacharius Wigle, the second child and only son, was born in the log house that so long stood on the place, Aug. 31, 1866. He now owns the farm on which he and his father were born, and which in turn was owned by his grandfather John Wigle, and great-grandfather Wendel Wigle. He is an enterprising young farmer, engaging in stock raising and general farming, and he has some twenty-five acres devoted to a peach orchard. His ventures have all prospered. In politics he is a Conservative. He is a member and trustee of the Ruthven Methodist Church. Fraternally he is a member of the I.O.O.F., Encampment and Rebekah of Ruthven, and of the Royal Templars.
     Mr. Wigle has been twice married. On May 18, 1892, he married Ella May Wigle, who died in 1900, leaving the following children: Arnold G., born June 11, 1893; Gerald B., born March 31, 1895; Helena May, born July 10, 1898; Cecil Leonard, born Feb. 10, 1900, died Aug. 20, 1900. On Feb. 19, 1902, Mr. Wigle was married to Miss Sarah Louisa Hughson, a member of one of the pioneer families of Raleigh township, County of Kent, and a most charming young lady. On March 17, 1903, Frances Grace was born of this marriage.
     Mr. Wigle is one of the prosperous young farmers of this locality, and he and his delightful wife are very prominent socially. They take an active part in church affairs, and lend their influence to all matters looking toward a betterment of the community at large.
