JAMES D. ARCHER, M. D.  The leading physician and surgeon of Holgate, Henry county, where he has successfully engaged in practice since June, 1885, is Doctor J. D. Archer. He is a native of Ohio, born in North Baltimore, October 30, 1858, a son of Joseph and Nancy J. (Howard) Archer, who still live at that place. They have three children: James D., John R., and Susan M.
     Upon his father's farm in Wood county Doctor Archer passed the days of his boyhood and youth, and in the district schools of the locality began his literary education, afterward attending Fostoria Academy for three years. He then engaged in teaching school for five years, and in the meantime, while conducting a school in Henry township, Wood county, commenced the study of medicine. In 1881 he entered Starling Medical College, where he graduated with the degree of M. D. three years later. Having received his diploma. he opened an office in Dundee, Michigan, but at the end of a year he came to Holgate, where he soon succeeded in building up a large and lucrative practice.
     In Holgate, Doctor Archer was married June 9, 1892, to Mrs. Sarah Mangus, widow of William Mangus, and daughter of W. P. Youngs, former of Henry county. Politically the Doctor has always been identified with the Democratic party, and in 1894 he was appointed, by President Cleveland, a member of the board of United States pension examiners for Henry county. He belongs to Holgate Lodge, No. 271, Knights of Pythias, and is surgeon for the Clover Leaf and Baltimore & Ohio railroads. He is also an honored member of the Northwestern Ohio Medical Society, the Ohio State Medical Society, the Baltimore & Ohio Railway Surgeons Association, the International Association of Railway Surgeons, and the American Medical Association. Holding marked precedence among the members of his profession in Henry county, and retaining a patronage of so representative a character as to alone stand in evidence of his professional ability and personal popularity, Doctor Archer must assuredly be accorded an honored place in this volume.
