Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, August 26, 1931
J. S. Archer, aged 67 years, for many years a prominent oil and gas operator in the fields of Noble, Monroe and Washington counties and one of Marietta’s highly esteemed citizens, died at his home, 636 Fourth Street, on Sunday at 12:45 p.m. Death was due to paralysis. He suffered his first stroke on August 10, with a recurrent stroke on Sunday, August 16, from which he did not rally.
John S. Archer was a native of Noble County. He was born near Carlisle on June 21, 1864. He spent his early life on a farm, and for a number of years he was engaged in the grist mill business in Noble County with his brother, M. F. Archer, now of Woodsfield. He engaged in the oil business about 30 years ago, and in 1903 he became associated with the late C. B. Barry in the oil and gas business. Messrs. Barry and Archer organized the National Oil and Gas Company in 1903 when they developed the fields in the Moss Run neighborhood, and they sold their gas production in communities in Washington County, including the villages of Beverly, Waterford, Watertown, Coal Run, Lowell, Warner and Lower Salem. The holdings of the National Oil and Gas Company were sold in 1925 to other interests and now held by the Ohio Fuel Gas Company.
Mr. Archer continued in the oil and gas business until his death, he having been associated with W. A. Reid and the C. B. Barry estate in the New American Oil Company which was organized in 1916, and which operated in the Monroe county fields near Graysville. Mr. Archer was treasurer of the company at the time of his death. He was also president and manager of the Bard Oil Company, organized in 1917, and which developed Adams Township fields back of Lowell. Associated with Mr. Archer in the properties of this company are the C. B. Barry estate, the P. H. Barry estate and Messrs. I. L. Dunn and O. C. Dunn.
Mr. Archer served as county commissioner of Noble County for two terms before going to Marietta about 22 years ago, having been elected on the Democratic ticket. He was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church and of Marietta Council No. 478, Knights of Columbus.
He was united in marriage with Miss Emma C. Hesson of Carlisle on June 2, 1885. She survives with two sons and a daughter, Clyde Archer of Parkersburg, president of the Home Dairy Company at Parkersburg; Walter H. Archer of Archer & Reid, Marietta and Mrs. Helen Louise Archer Wolfe of Piketon. There are five grandchildren.
Mr. Archer was preceded in death by father, mother and one brother, A. C. Archer.
