Adolphus H. Woodbridge, one of the members of the county council of the County of Essex, is one of Kingsville's most representative and highly esteemed citizens.
     Adolphus Woodbridge, father of Adolphus H., was born in Pennsylvania. He removed at an early day to Ohio, residing at Wooster and at Sandusky, at the latter city learning the tailor's trade. In 1831 he married Julia Ray, and they came to the County of Essex, settling on a acre of land, part of the Peter Scratch property. Mr. Woodbridge opened a country store, and continued to work also at his trade. His latter days were passed with his son William, in Colchester, at whose house he died in September, 1881, aged seventy-six years, his wife having passed away in November, 1867, aged sixty-five years. To them were born these children: Theodore, born at Sandusky, Ohio, married Harriet Gilbert, and lived and died in Michigan. William, born at Sandusky, engaged in farming and died in Colchester; he married (first) Mrs. Charles Brush, and (second) Hannah Aikman. Caroline married Thomas Martin, of Colchester South, where she now resides. Elizabeth is the widow of Jeremiah Lockhart, of Amherstburg. Susan died unmarried. Adolphus H. is the subject proper of this sketch. John died in Windsor.
     Adolphus H. Woodbridge was born July 29, 1839, in Gosfield township, of which he is so honored and esteemed a citizen. His education was completed in the village schools by the time he was sixteen years old, when he went to Kingsville, and there he learned the shoemaking trade, later following the same at Albertville-then a stirring litte village. Later he removed to Kingsville, and continued to follow his trade there. Prior to this he had purchased a tract of forty-five acres on land in Lot 4, Concession 1, and while still working at his trade, began farming there, erecting all the buildings now standing. In 1883 he built his fine brick residence, one of the most attractive homes of this locality.
     Ever since manhood Mr. Woodbridge has taken an intelligent interest in all matters of public interest, and has devoted close attention to the wants of his own section. In municipal matters he has shown so much good judgment and wise discretion that his official life has been of considerable duration. For four years he served as reeve of the township, and his is now serving his second year as a valued member of the county council. Politically he is identified with the Reform party. Socially and fraternally he is connected with the I.O.O.F. and the Foresters, and is a charter member of the Order of Workmen, all of Kingsville.
     In 1861 Mr. Woodbridge married, in Malden township, Miss Amelia Mickle. They have had these children: Theodore, born June 1, 1862, died at the age of fourteen years; Minnie, born May 10, 1864, married Howard Scratch, of Kingsville, and they have five children, Ray, Faith, Hattie, Edith and Ettie; Angus, born July 26, 1866, is a trusted employee of a Detroit business house; Carrie, born July 2, 1868, married Edward Baulslaugh, of Walkerville, and they have one daughter, Florence Genett, born May 26, 1898; William, born Aug. 8, 1871, is the farmer on the home place; John, born May 26, 1874, and now conducting a machine shop in Detroit, married Dora Granagher, and they have two daughters, Ellan and Florence Amelia; Walter and Arthur, (twins) born Jan. 24, 1876, the former is now in his second year at the Detroit Dental College, and the latter is employed in the Page Wire Fence Company, of Walkerville; Fred, born March 16, 1878, is a dentist in Detroit, Michigan; and Ernest, born July 12, 1882, is employed at St. Louis, Missouri.
     Mr. Woodbridge and family belong to the Methodist Church, and he has served many years as superintendent of the Sunday-school, still acting as assistant. He is one of the trustees and a member of the Quarterly Board. As an usher of the church he is a very familiar figure to the attendants at this house of worship. He is a man who is held in universal esteem, and one who takes a very prominent part in all that concerns the material and spiritual welfare of his fellow-citizens.
