    William S. Archer - Stone in Archer Cemetery - Red Lodge Road - Amelia Co., VA

    (on one side)


    To mark their devoted affection
    veneration and love
    This humble inscription and inadequate
    tribute to his worth
    is from the hand of one
    who knew and loved him
    from his cradle to his grave.
    The kindness of his disposition
    the generosity of his character
    and his high and refined sense of
    moral right endeared him to his friends
    His highly cultivated literary taste
    his mind well stored with ornamental
    and useful knowledge.
    His calm and profound judgement
    and his noble chivalry of character
    placed him in the councils of the nation
    in the proud rank of the distinguished
    men of his time
    He lived and died
    without fear and without reproach



    (on the other side)

    THIS MONUMENT
    is erected to the memory
    of
    WILLIAM S. ARCHER
    By his affectionate sisters
    To whom he stood
    almost throughout their lives
    in the double relation
    of
    Father and Brother
    He was Born March 5, 1789
    And died March 28, 1855
