___________________________

Many who for the last time shook hands with this gentleman at the close of the last Insurance meeting in Ayr could not but think of the words - "I'm wearing awa', Jean". He had been a sufferer for years from chronic rheumatism and although his life was spared past the allotted span of man's life, yet were his days for many years but those of patient suffering. Mr. Wrigley was born near Manchester, England, and came with his family to Canada in 1826. His father took up the farm in Dumfries now known as "Wrigley's Corners" on which Mr. Joseph Wrigley, late Reeve of North Dumfries, Warden of the County, and now clerk of the Township, resides. There he spent over fifty years of his life, discharging during that time many positions of trust and responsibility, having held the position of of Tax Collector of the Township for nearly twenty years. About twelve years ago, Mr. Wrigley retired from his farm, to Ayr, where he has since resided, enjoying as well as his ailments would allow, the rest he had so well earned.

In 1844 he married Miss Isabella Stoddard, who survives him. This lady he met after his release from jail in Hamilton, he having been incarcerated for a supposed participation in the McKenzie rebellion of 1837. Strangely enough, Mr. Wrigley and a friend were entrapped into sleeping on board the "Caroline" the night she was attacked and sent over the Falls. However, Mr. Wrigley was released on bail, without trial, and no further action was taken against him. Thier family consisted of three sons and two daughters, viz: Mr. Archibald Wrigley of Michigan; Mr. George Wrigley now publisher of the Drumbo Record, and Mr. Joseph Wrigley to whom we have before referred; Miss Margaret Wrigley; his second daughter having died last year. Mr. Wrigley was interred in the beautiful cemetery in Ayr on Wednesday last, his remains being followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of his old friends.

_________________________

The death occurred in Ayr on Sunday morning of Isabella Stoddar, relict of the late Sylvanus Wrigley, at the ripe old age of 84 years. The deceased was a native of New York state and came when only a child to this country. The family took up land between Galt and Glenmorris in North Dumfries, and have lived in the township, with the exception of a few years in Ayr, continuously. The husband, Sylvanus Wrigley, a sturdy pioneer, who died some years ago, was one of the best known and most highly esteemed farmers in the district. For seventeen years he ably filled the office of collector of the township. The Late Mrs. Wrigley was a consistent member of the Baptist denomination. She was a lady of quiet, unassuming demeanor, but possessed rare faculties of mind and qualities of disposition which earned for her the admiration and love of a wide circle. She was kind and charitable, a good neighbour, an admirable wife and the devoted mother of five children, of whom four are alive: Archibald of Corunna Michigan; George of Winnipeg, the well-known newspaper man formerly editor of the 'Farmers Sun', Toronto; Joseph, the respected township clerk; and Margaret, the daughter at home. The fifth, a daughter, Annie, passed away twenty years ago. All who enjoyed the acquaintance of the deceased lady unite in speaking her praises and the universal sentiment is the she has gone to enjoy well-earned rest and reward, after of life of true and exemplary womanhood. The funeral took place to Ayr cemetery on Tuesday afternoon.

Notes:

In 1826 the family settled in a part Dumfries twp known as "Wrigleys Corners", having been in NY state for a few years previous (1819-1826). The farm at Wrigley's Corners passed first to his son Sylvanus and then to his grandson Joseph until it was sold to a Russell Bannister in 1921. "In 1834 a tiny log school was built near the Seventh Con Rd, but it is said formal schooling was carried on in the home of the first Joseph Wrigley even before that." (From: Our Yesterdays) In 1854 this log school burned, and was replaced by a red brick building that was constructed on a half-acre plot of land purchased from the Wrigley family. It survived for one hundred years. This was U.S.S. No. 16 at Wrigley's Corners.
In the 1840's Joseph & Ann moved to Michigan state with son George and daughter Sarah, and their families. Joseph died in 1854 (12 July) and the age on his tombstone is 75 years, 11 months. He and Ann are buried in Alton, Vergennes Co., Michigan. Ann died in 1864 (31 Aug) an the age on her tombstone reads 78 years, 6 months, 9 days
