In 1924, he with his brother, Robert, came to make their home with their uncle and aunt, Mr and Mrs G.W. Barker, who, at the time, were living one mile north of Gas City. This has been their home since then and both boys attended Gas school. Archie was in the eighth grade of school and would have graduated this term.
