Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 74-76:
Horatio Wigle, a member of one of the oldest and most prominent families of his section of County Essex, is a successful farmer and progressive citizen of Gosfield township, in addition to being identified with large business enterprises. Full records of this family will be found in another portion of this work.
     Wendel Wigle, grandfather of Horatio, began farming on Lot 10, Concession 3, Gosfield township, in a log house which he erected in 1805, the year of his marriage, and which he occupied until 1823, when he removed to Cedar Creek. The log house was a commodious one, larger than was usually constructed, stood some eight rods west of the present Cyrus Wigle house, and remained intact until 1876. When John W. Wigle, son of Wendel and father of Horatio, began to farm he moved into this large hewed log house, and about the same time acquired Government Lot 11, making him the owner of 400 acres of land in one block...
     John W. Wigle was born July 12, 1806, and was the oldest child of his parents. In 1850 he moved from the above-mentioned log cabin to the hill, on Lot 11, the location of our subject's house. Here he erected a large frame house, 40 x 50 feet, which was destroyed by fire in 1877. The present handsome brick residence took its place. John Wigle was a progressive and enterprising man, and he became the owner of large tracts of land, aggregating 1,288 acres, farmed on a large scale, and did much building. In company with Hugh Ruthven he built a sawmill at Ruthven, this being the first business ventures started in the village, and he was also one of the incorporators of the Ruthven Woolen Mills. His mental faculties remained unimpaired until within a very short time of his death, which occurred Oct. 28, 1894. In him the Methodist Church had an active, liberal and influential member.
     John W. Wigle married Salonia Fox, daughter of Philip Fox, and she died May 3, 1878. They had children as follows: Isabella and Sarah were twins; Isabella (deceased), married John Cascadden, lived on the west half of Lot 259, Talbot street, Gosfield North, and had children: Sarah (wife of J. F. Jeffery), Wilson E., John W. and Thomas T. Sarah (deceased), married James Neville, who is mentioned elsewhere. Wendel J. (deceased), married Susanna Cascadden, and they had Lenora (wife of John Noble), Sylvanus (of Kingsville), Alzora (wife of Albert Pulford), Moretta (wife of Peter Peterson), and Mary (wife of William Bray, of Michigan). Mary (deceased), married William McQueen and lived on the east half of Lot 259, and they had children-A. Burnes, Rosilla (wife of John McKinney), Capt. John S. (of Amherstburg), Salonia (wife of James Scratch), Elizabeth (wife of Charles Whittle), and James W., D.D.S. Elizabeth, the only one of the daughters now living, is the wife of R. W. Shanks, extended mention of whom will be found elsewhere. Cyrus married Louise McCormick, and is futher mentioned elsewhere. Horatio is the subject proper of this sketch.
     Horatio Wigle, the youngest member of the John W. Wigle family, was born April 7, 1848, on Lot 10, the old home place. The family soon removed to the hill farm on Lot 11, and there our subject was reared, growing up a farmer and obtaining his education in the local schools. For a number of years prior to his father's death he was at the head of affairs, operating this place, which he later acquired. The barns and outbuildings here were originally built by his father, but he has remodeled and enlarged them and has made many substantial improvements. Mr. Wigle is one of the largest farmers in South Essex and is also a large fruit-grower. Latterly he has become much interested in the breeding of fine stock in addition to his other enterprises. At one time Mr. Wigle owned 1,000 acres of land in this locality, and at the present time owns some 700. His careful methods and good management have made him a very successful man of business and one of the model agriculturists of the township.
     Mr. Wigle has many other interests, one of these being the steel whiffle-tree plant located at Ypsilanti, Michigan, of which he is the president, the business of which is the manufacture of a patented steel whiffle-tree, and also a variety of pressed steel goods. The manager, secretary and treasurer of this large concern is Mr. Wigle's youngest son.
     On March 8, 1869, Mr. Wigle was married, at Windsor, to Delorius S. Munger, and to this union have come children as follows: Ora, born April 1, 1870, widow of Dr. F. A. Wigle, has one daughter, Ora Leal; Mrs. Wigle is a medical graduate and now holds a responsible position in a large hospital in Brooklyn. Lewis Wilson, born Sept. 25, 1871, is a prosperous dental surgeon at Detroit, Michigan; he married Vera Pearl Richardson, and they have a daughter, Reona. Lena Arden, born Dec. 8, 1873, married Oct. 29, 1903, Arthur B. Clinton, of Detroit. Elmira Grace was born Sept. 3, 1875. Rinaldo Mervin, born July 24, 1877, is engaged in Ypsilanti, Michigan, as previously mentioned.
