Milton Warren Hodges "M.W. Hodges", was a vital part of the founding of the town known as Archie, Cass County, Missouri. As noted in the following commentary in the book, From Railway to Highway, The First Fifty Years of Archie, Missouri, by Daryl Limpus, Pink Hill Publishing Company, 1994, contains the following account of the founding of the town of Archie, Missouri (page 1):
"The town of Archie began with the promise of a railroad depot. The details are lost in the lack of primary sources, but by April 1880 the local landowners, M.W. Hodges, James Hoots, and Aaron Gross, had assigned land to William H. Barrett as a trustee for the Archie Town Company. Land was given to the railroad for tracks and a depot. The Missouri-Pacific Railroad apparently was a partner in the town company for they received alternate lots in the new town. R.T. Railey, a lawyer for the Missouri-Pacific, was a member of the town company along with M.W. Hodges, James Hoots, Aaron Gross, E.H. Brown, and T.H. Gilbert. The railroad superintendent, H.C. Talmage, named the depot and town after his youngest son, Archie Talmage."
