DR. GEORGE W. ARCHER
Dr. George W. Archer died at the home of his niece, Mrs. Henry C. Wilson, at Emmorton at an early hour on Saturday morning. He was 83 years of age and has spent all his later life in Harford county. For some time he had been in poor health, but the immediate cause of his death was heart failure.
Dr. Archer was the son of the late Dr. Robert H. and Mary Stump Archer. One of the best known physicians in his part of the state. Dr. George W. Archer, before his retirement was himself a well known physician and surgeon. Not long ago he was elected a member of the Society of Men of Mark of America.
In his sunset years he had devoted his time to preparing a history of Harford county, and had gathered together much interesting data.
