William Archer
Archer - February 27, 1886, at his residence, about nine miles
north-west of Red Oak, Mr. William Archer, aged 70 years, 9 months and 5 days.
Mr. Archer and family came to Red Oak at the commencement of the town, and was
engaged in the hotel business for a number of years. About seven years ago
he transferred his interests to Sherman township, when he controlled a large
tract of land. Mr. Archer had been in bad health for more than a year, and
on Saturday death claimed him as a victim. A widow, two sons and two
daughters mourn his absence. The funeral services will be held Monday,
March 1, 1886 at his residence. His remains were followed to the
Red Oak
cemetery by a large number of relatives and friends. God has promised to
be the widow's shield and the orphan's stay. This is a truth that this
afflicted family can appropriate to themselves, and from which they can get much
solid comfort. Mr. Archer left his family in good material circumstances,
and this speaks well, if rightly gained, for and husband and father. W. R.
