ANDERSON, ARCH
Died, Tuesday, September 21, 1903 at his home on the Upper Washita, Arch Anderson of a complication of kidney and heart disorders. This announcement comes as a shock to a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. The seizure and fatal termination were sudden and wholly unexpected. He was in town Thursday looking strong and in the brief of young manhood. He was taken sick that night and the disease rapidly assumed a fatal aspect. With every attention and the most skillful medical treatment the hand of death could not be stayed.
Arch was a true and whole-hearted friend, and a devoted brother, son, husband and father. He was unfortunate in business, but he never lost hope and his bitterest trial, his true manhood shone bright and clear. Industrious, energetic, enterprising had hed lived he would have surely succeeded for these qualifications of mind and heart deserve success and will certainly win. He leaves a young wife and a little girl, and a large number of relatives and friends who will long mourn his untimely death and keep his memory green for his manliness and hopefulness and for the pathose of trouble that clouded the end of his bright young life.
He was laid to rest in the Cheyenne Cemetery, Wednesday afternoon by his brother. Woodmen of the World, of which order he was an esteemed sovereign.

Thanks for posting this obituary! Arch was my great grandfather. What they didn't know when this obituary was written was that his widow, Julia Eva Graves Anderson, was pregnant with their second child - a daughter named Archie Alberta Anderson. Archie grew up to become the first queen of the Old Settlers Reunion in 1922. Eva lived to be 97 and never remarried. I remember a photo of Arch hanging above her bed when I was a little girl.
