Archibald Andrew Stokes the second child born to Heber and Mary Frances Andreasen Stokes on June 25, 1901 at Bothwell, Utah. They lived in Bothwell (Rosewell) in a small frame two room house across from the church and the school. He was the second of ten children. His father was a farmer so Arch was taught to work hard and to give an honest day's work for an honest day's pay.
Hansen Livestock Company came into the north end of Bothwell just south of the mountain and set up a large outfit for feeding livestock. Anyone who wanted a job could have one if they were willing to work. Arch's father, Heber took the job.Arch was just big enough to harness a horse. So while Heber got his breakfast, Arch would harness the horses so his father could to work for Hansen's. Heber would come outside when he finished his breakfast and finish harnessing the horses and hook them to the wagon. One morning he was backing them to the wagon and he triped over the wagon tongue and fell to the ground. Arch broke into laughter when he saw his dad trip and fall. Heber got up, walked over to Arch and gave him a "good swat" for laughing. Arch went in the house just a bawlin'! His mother asked him what on earth was the matter. Arch, still crying said, "Dad tripped and fell over the wagon tongue and I laughted." His mother Frances said, "Well I would have laughed too."
Arch said that even though they lived across the street from the schoolhouse, they were often late. Arch was a typical boy and had a few trouble now and then and had to stay after school. He did like school and was a good student. He enjoyed participating in plays and activities.
In 1914, Arch was eleven years old, the family moved to Black Pine, Idaho. Heber homestead land in an area where few people were yet to live. The years there were very hard for them. They hauled the water in barrels for miles as did most who settled in the area. After a few years a well was dug on the dry farm. For the first three or four years they would spend summer on the farm and go back to Bothwell in the winter season to attend school. These trips were made in wagons and would take about three days to travel. All their children were born in Bothwell. Frances' mother Sophia was a midwife and delivered all her children. The family increased to ten.
There father Heber passed away July 1, 1925. He had been bitten by a deer fly and had tularemia. He was partially paralyzed for sometime before he died at the age of 45. His mother had six children unmarried and three married. They buried a little girl Lydia Faye, August 31, 1910. The older three were a big help to their mother.
The government took over the Black Pine valley as people were compelled to moved to feed their families.
Arch married Hazel Blanche Mortenson July 7, 1925 in Logan. They stayed in Black Pine for awhile and then moved to Wellsville, Utah and had four children: Andrew, Francis, a baby boy who died in infancy and Carol.
Arch was a trapper, a farmer and he sheared sheep for many years.
