Archibald Rigley, one Of the most
prominent and successful farmers in
the county, died at his home on N
Ball street, at 8 o'clock Sunday, 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 Sun
day morning. Neuritis was the cause
of his passing.
Mr.. Wrigley was born in Waterloo
township, near Gait, Ont, on April
IL, 1845. He grew to manhood there
and on December 20, 1869, was mar
ried 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 10, they moved
to their new home on Ball street to
enjoy the fruits of their years of
labor in we'll earned rest. Hardly had
they become settled in their new
home, however, before Mr.. Wrigley
began to fail and eight weeks ago was
ordered by his physician to take to
his bed.
The death of Mr.. Wrigley marks
the passing of 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 stead
fast to the tenets of his religion and
practiced them in his daily life. He
was a strong advocate Of prohibition
perance was to be termed 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 devoted to his family and
home, and with his passing, he leaves
to his widow and children, heritage
more lasting than gold, the memory
of a man who was not only hus-
band and a father, but companion
and guide, whose daily was so clean
and noble as to be an inspiration. To
all who knew him his name was syno-
nymous with integrity and upright
ness.
The deceased always took a keen
and an active part in COM
munity 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 we'll as in the farmers
club.
Mr.. Wrigley is survived by his
widow and six children. The children
are: Rawson Wrigley, Minneapolis;
Sylvanus Wrigley, Shiawassee town.
ship; Mrs. Lilah Jeffrey, at home;
Mrs. Mabel Deifendorf, Chicago; Mrs.
]. w. Dingwall, Oakland, Calf, 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.. Wrig-
ley were held at the home, 622 North
Ball street, Tuesday afternoon. Rev.
Dunning Idle gave the address and
burial took place at Oak Hill ceme-
;ery.
