General Notes: Husband - Samuel Archibald

---

He attended the country school in the old brick schoolhouse, then located on the Archibald homestead, and was well educated for a boy who lived in his day and generation. He worked on his father's farm and at the beginning of the Civil war he was drafted, but due to the age of his parents he paid a substitute. He was again called at the battle of Gettysburg, and went with his company, who were held as reserves. In 1865 he bought the old Fishel homestead in Derry township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, one mile from Livermore. He was a very prosperous farmer, and came to own three farms. He always took much interest in the schools of his township, serving as school director for a number of years. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church beginning from his boyhood days, and held the office of ruling elder in the Livermore Presbyterian Church for nearly forty years. His word is always as good as his bond. He was a total abstainer and fought the liquor problem.
