Source: The Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, September 14, 1922
Sebastian N. Archer was born June 16, 1844, in what is now Noble county, near East Union. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Archer, pioneer settlers on the East Fork of Duck Creek.
The deceased was 78 years, 2 months, and 16 days old. October 9, 1864, he was united in marriage to Miss Ellen McGovern at the Fulda Catholic church by Rev. Father Fluber. Immediately after the marriage Mr. Archer was called to serve his country in the Civil War. He was honorably discharged from the service at Camp Chase, Ohio, in the fall of 1865.
Ten children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Archer, the oldest and youngest dying in infancy. His wife and eight children still survive: A. C. of Zanesville, Ohio; U. W. of Somerset; E. P. of Lewisville; A. J. of Youngstown, and Thomas of Columbus; Mrs. Thurman Smith of Caldwell; Rosa McEntee and Lucy Danford of the home. Mr. Archer is also survived by one brother, J. W. Archer of the home place and one sister, Mrs. Michael Crum of near East Union.
Mr. Archer was honored and respected by all who knew him. He was a devout member of the Catholic church. His has been a long and useful life and he has left to his sons and daughters no legacy more valuable than the example he set before them. May they always remember this in their different walks of life and may this be a guiding star to steer them in the path of righteousness.
The funeral was held at St. Sylvester's Catholich church at Woodsfield, Ohio, and he was laid to rest in the cemetery at that place, followed by a large concourse of relatives and friends among which was the local G. A. R. Post carrying the flag and flowers. May he rest in peace.
