- From the Caldwell Citizens' Press, 19 Nov 1885:
Married -- At St. Michaels church by Rev. father Fladung, Nov. 10,
Charles Archer and Miss Matilda Wilt.
The 1900 cenus entry for the family of Michael Archer is a little confusing. It lists 32 year old Michael Archer, and his wife of three years, Matilda. There are four children in the house: son Harley (7), daughter Ida (2), stepson Andrew (12), and stepson Earl (9). Matilda is shown as having given birth to five children, three of whom are living. If correct, this evidence suggests that Matilda Wild was Michael's first wife, and that his second wife was also named Matilda.
In 1900, 32 farm laborer Michael Archer and his family lived in a house in Stock Twp., Noble County, Ohio. (There is no indication of whether the house was rented or owned.) Michael and his parents were born in Ohio. They boys all attended school, and everyone in the house over the age of 10 could read and write.
In 1910, 42 year old Michael Archer lived with is 42 year old wife and six children. The two oldest are listed as Michael's stepsons. Andrew (22), Edward E (19), Harley (17), Ida (11), John K (4), and Michael (2).
At the time of the 1930 census, Michael M. Archer and his wife Matilda (both 62) owned a farm in Stock Twp. where they lived with their son Cain M. (22).
