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. From time to time he added to this until he owned over 1,000 acres. He cleared much of the homestead place and was considered a man of large capital and a successful farmer. Many are the thrilling and interesting stories told ...[stories]...
     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.
