| Reading a series of obituaries from a single cemetery, as they are presented here, is like reading the multi-generational history of a community. These people were the local populace at a particular time. The people buried here knew each other, were neighbors, relatives and school mates. They attended church together and engaged in "trade" or business. All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH. Women identified by a married alias only and for whom a birth surname can not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries. |
ARCHER THOMAS MORRIS
Wellsboro Agitator – February 22, 1922
T. M. Archer Committed Suicide Thursday by Hanging Himself in Barn.
Thomas Morris Archer, aged nearly 66 years, better known throughout
Tioga county as “Mode” Archer, took his own life last Thursday night about
7 o’clock, by hanging himself in the barn at his home at Crookedcreek.
He had placed a rope halter around his neck and fastened the other end
of the rope to a beam, evidently while standing on a box, which he kicked
out of the way, death being caused by strangulation. Coroner William
F. White, M. D., of Wellsboro, was called, and after making an investigation
found that Mr. Archer’s death was a clear case of suicide and deemed an
inquest unnecessary. Mr. Archer had been in poor health for some
time. He had been at home all day Thursday and when he went out in
the evening he told members of the household he would return in a few minutes.
When he failed to return, Mrs. S. O. Daggett, a relative, who has been
staying at the Archer home, became worried and asked some of the neighbors
if they had seen him. She and the neighbors went out to look for
Mr. Archer and his lifeless body was found hanging in the hay now about
7:15 p.m. Dr. Kennedy, who was immediately summoned, stated that,
from all indications, Mr. Archer was dead when his body was cut down.
T. M. Archer was born in Middlebury township, Tioga County PA., on Feb.
23, 1856, a son of William and Eliza West Archer. He is survived
by his widow Mary Gertrude Hymes Archer, to whom he was married April 17,
1879, an adopted daughter, Mrs. Elva Pollock, of Wellsboro; a brother,
William Archer, of Tioga, and a sister, Mrs. N. E. Bryant, of Crookedcreek
and three grandchildren, James, Gertrude and Beatrice Pollock, of Wellsboro.
Mr. Archer was a former Commissioner of Tioga county, and had been engaged
in the lumber business for many years. He was well known throughout
Tioga county and had many friends. He was a 32nd degree Mason and
a member of the Baptist church and the I. O. O. F. The funeral
was held Sunday afternoon at two o’clock at the Baptist church at Holiday;
interment in the Fairview cemetery.

for several years and conducted a farm during the whole time, finally retiring
from active business about 1876. Mr. Holiday married Alvira Keeney, a daughter
of Thomas Keeney, who bore him 7 children, 5 of whom survive: Byron B.
Holiday of Elmira, NY; Van Buren B. Holiday of ?; Delos and Darius Holiday
