OBITUARY
The death is announced of Mr F. A. Archer, who had been in ill health for some time, and who passed away at his residence at Fendalton on Monday evening.
He was born at Melbourne fifty-one years ago, and, when a boy, came to New Zealand with his parents, who settled at Timaru, his father, the late Mr Fulbert Archer, joining the firm of Miles and Co., which then became Miles, Archer and Co. He was educated at Christ's College, Christchurch, and began his business career with Miles and Co. in this city.
In 1895 he became stock auctioneer in the firm of Dalgety and Co. Two years later, when the Hon E. W. Parker retired from the position of supervisor for Dalgety and Co. and went to England, Mr Archer was appointed manager, a position which he held until about a year ago, when he was compelled by failing health to resign, to the regret of the members of the staff and of the firm's clients. In other directions Mr Archer took a prominent part in business affairs. He succeeded Mr Parker as the Christchurch member of the Colonial Advisory Board of the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company and was a member of the Board of Directors of the Canterbury Saleyards Company. He took an active interest in the affairs of the Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Association. He was elected a member of the general committee in 1896, vice-president in 1900, and president in 1901.
In his younger days he was a prominent football player and a Volunteer. He leaves a widow and two sons and one daughter. One of his sons is in the office of Messrs Duncan, Cotterill and Stringer and the other is in Messrs Dalgety and Co.'s office. A large number of flags in the city were flown at half-mast in memory of the late Mr Archer.[4]
Fulbert Astley ARCHER was Chairman of Timaru Harbour Board.
