Obituary
On Saturday, 1:15 a.m. Sept. 9th, 1893, at his home in New Salem, Kansas, Mr. Henry S. Archer, a well-known citizen of Cowley Co., departed this life in his 74th year, after an illness of several weeks.
He was born Oct. 12th, 1819 in Orange Co., New York, and baptized in infancy in the Presbyterian Church, his mother being a faithful member. At an early age Henry was left an orphan, being subsequently reared by his grandparents. In his fifteenth year he removed with them to Jefferson Co., New York; and later on made a public profession of religion uniting with the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and led for several years a consistent Christian life, sustaining a family alter in his home. On September 14th, 1843 he was married to Miss Fanny Spicer, of Perch River, New York, his subsequent life-long companion for fifty years lacking five days.
There were born to them on son and two daughters, the former passing away in his third year, the two daughters, still living, are now Mrs. Axford, of Latham, Kansas and Mrs. Wright of Omro, Wisconsin. In 1854 Mr. and Mrs. Archer removed to Baraboo, Wisconsin and subsequently to Charlotte, Michigan, coming in 1878 to Kansas, and settling first near Grouse Creek, Butler county, and later on in the vicinity of New Salem, his home at the time of his death. During his long illness he was remarkably patient, and gave in connection with Scripture reading and prayer at his bed-side cheering evidence of trust in Christ his Savior.
After brief funeral services, conducted by Pastor C.P. Graham of the Presbyterian church, at the home of the deceased, Sabbath 3:00 p.m., September 10th, the remains were laid to rest in the New Salem cemetery.
The sorrowing widow, daughters and other relatives of the departed have the sympathy of many friends.
