William McQueen was born at Fingal, County of Elgin, and was twenty years of age when his parents moved to the County of Essex. He married Mary, daughter of John W. Wigle. At the time of his marriage he first settled on the Cyrus Wigle farm near Ruthven, but at the end of the second year moved to the farm on Lot 259, occupied by our subject, but which was then a perfect jungle. Upon it he built a log house, hewed inside and rough outside, and at once began the work of clearing. In 1868 a comfortable frame dwelling succeeded the original log house. He died on this place in 1869, aged thirty-five years.
