Memorable Manitobans: Joseph Wrigley (1839-?)
Born at Yorkshire, England on 3 February 1839, he was selected in 1884 as the Chief Commissioner for British North America of the Hudson’s Bay Company. Following the death of C. J. Brydges in 1889, he also took control of the company’s real estate business. He resigned his positions in 1891, citing ill health, and returned to England. See also:
