• Notes

  Prominent Retired Farmer Expires Soon After Moving to This City Archibald Wrigley, one of the most prominent and successful farmers in the county, died at his home on North Ball Street at 8 o'clock last night, after an illness that had confined him to his bed for the past eight weeks. Despite the length of his illness, hope for his recovery was entertained until Sunday morning. Neuritis was the cause of his passing. Mr. Wrigley was born in Waterloo township, near Galt, Ont., on April 11, 1845. He grew to manhood there and on December 28, 1869, was united in marriage to Miss Eunice Ball at Marshall, Mich. The bridal couple returned to Waterloo township where they lived until 1879. In that year they came to Shiawassee county and purchased a farm southeast of Corunna. There they made their home until this spring, when on May 18, they moved to their new home on Ball street to enjoy the fruits of their years of labor in well earned rest. Hardly had they become settled in their new home, however, before Mr. Wrigley began to fail and eight weeks ago was ordered to his bed. The death of Mr. Wrigley marks the passing of a man who stood for all that was good and noble in life. He became converted when young and throughout the years of his well rounded life, he has remained steadfast to the tenets of his religion and practiced them in his daily life. He was advocate of prohibition in the days when to advocate temperance was to be termed a crank, but his firm belief in the principle was not daunted and he lived to see prohibition grow until it swept the entire country. He was greatly devoted to his family and home, and with his passing, he leaves his widow and children, a heritage more valued than gold, the memory of a man who was not only a husband and a father, but a companion and a guide, whose daily life was so clean and noble as to be an inspiration. To al who knew him, his name was synonymous with integrity and uprightness. The deceased always found time, despite his many duties on the farm, to take a keen interest and an active part in community affairs, and was to be found in the front rank of every movement for civic betterment. He had for many years been an active worker in the grange as well as in the farmers' club. Mr. Wrigley is survived by his widow and six children. The children are: Rawson Wrigley, Minneapolis; Sylvanus Wrigley, Shiawassee twp; Mrs. Lilah Jeffrey at home; Mrs. Mabel Deifendorf, Chicago; Mrs. J. W. Dingwall, Oakland Calif; and Miss June Wrigley at home. He also leaves one brother, Joseph Wrigley of Ayr Ont., and one sister, Miss Maggie WRIGLEY, of the same place. The funeral services for Mr. Wrigley will be held at the home, 622 North Ball Street, Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev Dunning Idle will officiate and burial will take place at Oak Hill cemetery.
