ELISHA ARCHER, farmer, P.O. Hydetown, was born February 23, 1835, in Plum Township, Venango Co., Penn. His parents, John G. and Susanna (Wilson) Archer, settled in Troy Township, this county, in 1857, and there cleared up and improved a line farm of 120 acres, where they resided until their deaths; former died in 1870, latter in 1869. They were upright, industrious people and won the highest respect of all who knew them. Mr. Archer was a helpless cripple from the effects of rheumatism during the last thirty years of his life. Their children were William; John (deceased); Alvin (deceased); Elisha; James, of Troy Township, this county; Samuel, of Venango County, Penn.; Robert, a soldier in the Fourteenth Regiment United States Infantry, who died October 9, 1862, at Little York, Penn., and George. Our subject was very kind in his care and attention to his aged parents. He married Miss Rebecca Proper, of Venango County, September 22, 1859, and they then settled where they now live. Here by industry they have acquired and improved a good home of eighty-five acres adjoining Hydetown Borough. Their children were Ida, Lizzie, Elmer (deceased), Clarinda, Hattie (deceased), and Ernest. Mr. Archer has served his township in various positions; is at present Collector of Taxes. He and his worthy wife are Methodists. In politics he is a Republican.
