He attended Michigan State University in 1935 ? 1936, then returned to Cass City to work at the old Maier and Young Meat Market on Main Street.

He was an ardent reader throughout his life, with particular interests in the history of the United States Civil War era, natural history, and his beloved Scotland, the land of his maternal forebears. He relied heavily on the Rawson Memorial District Library for reading material and developed lasting friendships with many library staff over the years.
He was a great animal lover and shared his life with many generations of beloved dogs and cats.
He was predeceased by his parents, his wife, two sisters (Janet Esau of Detroit and Elizabeth Esau Baker of Pennsylvania, two nieces and many first cousins of the MacRae, Wheeler and Croft families.

Archie appears to have been married twice. His first marriage was to a Nellie, sometime before 1913. He and Nellie had five children, Abbie, Elbert, Clara, Ira, and Archie Jr. It appears that Nellie and Clara may have died between 1920 and 1930. In 1926, Archie married Margie McLemore, some eight years his senior.

(Medical):It is said that many of his descendants suffer from thalessmia or Mediterranean anemia, causing low hemoglobin counts and resulting in low energy (thalessmia minor) or death (thalessmia major)
I have never found out when or where my grandfathers father died and was buried.
HIs name was CRAVEN FAIRCHILD(s) born april 1858 in PERRY COUNTY MISSISSIPPI. married EVA m. BROOME 6 Dec 1884 her death is also a mustery. She is supposed to have outlived her husband. Craven & Eva were last in the 1910 Cencus with thier children Alma E. Fairchild born about 1901
Orrin O. Fairchild born about 1903
Eric L. Fairchild (my grandfather) birn 11 april 1899
His parents were ABERAHAM LUNDY FAIRCHILD & Levinia MCLEMORE. Aberaham died in 1897 and Lavinia died after 1900 She is not in the 1910 Cencus as far as I have seen.
I would very much appreciate any information as to the deaths and burial places of Eva & Craven Fairchild.
Cravens brother Hiram Fairchild and his wife Hattie Clark Fairchild are Buried in Brookhaven, Lincoln MS.
This is a possibility but I have no way of being sure.
Other possibilitys are Jones, Copiah, Perry, Lincoln, Countys.
Thank You very Much

Posted on a query list by Morna Leonard; medusa656@yahoo.com
KNOWLES--I am looking for the descendants of Franklin McCormic KNOWLES (born 20 April 1849, probably in Poseyville, Posey County, Indiana; died 18 February 1887 in Gibson County, Indiana) and Eliza Ellen (FAIRCHILD) KNOWLES VAUGHAN (born 31 January 1851 in Evansville, Vanderburgh County, Indiana; died 18 October 1910 in Poseyville, Posey County, Indiana). They married 14 April 1870 in Posey County and had 5 children: Elam Elmer Knowles (born about 1871 in Indiana), Gracey Knowles, Alvus O. Knowles, Orva V. Knowles,
and Martha Knowles. They were in the 1870 and 1880 censuses in Montgomery Township, Gibson County, Indiana.
After Franklin's death, Eliza remarried 14 September 1893 in Posey County to Elbert B. Vaughan (born 9 November 1855; died 6 December 1898) and had one child from that union, my great-grandmother, Medreth Elberta Vaughan (born 5 March 1895 in Poseyville, Posey County, Indiana; died 10 September 1987 in Lawton , Oklahoma). Eliza and daughter Medreth are in the 1900 census for Posey County in the household of Eliza's father, Elam Fairchild.
When Eliza died in 1910, Medreth (age 15) was orphaned, so she was sent to live with her uncle John Fairchild in Oklahoma. I'd be interested to know of any descendants of her half-siblings, as well as ancestors on the Knowles side (Ephraim's parents were supposedly born in Delaware), as I haven't any information on that branch. Thanks to all in advance for any and all help.

In December, 2011, a descendant emailed that "Minnie Belle....is buried in Stone County, Mississippi, a Wiggins cemetery. Minnie married Reuben W. Lowery [and had two daughters].
Minnie and Ruben and the two girls were living in Wiggins at the time that Minnie died after the birth of a son; the baby died too. Minnie and the baby are buried in Wiggins. Ruben and the two girls took a train up to the Seminary area where some of his older children lived. Ruben died soon after. They said he was an old man and grieved himself to death. Fletcher, one of his grown sons, and his wife took in the two younger children, Gladys and Audrey, ages 4 and 2, and raised them."
At the time of the 1880 Census, Nancy and Isaac Luther were living with a C.N. and Cornelia Smith in Gallatin Township, Copiah County, Mississippi. Two older children were in the home with him, 14 year old Alice and 12 year old Alonzo. They appear to have been Isaac's children from a prior marriage.
Said to be one of the ten sons of Thomas Fairchild of Stratford.
Among the early settlers in this country was Thomas Fairchild, a native of England, who located at Stratford in 1639 and became one the leading pioneers of the place, being named by both Barber and Hollister as the first magistrate there?. It is likely that the name was originally Fairbairn, and that the family went to England from Scotland at a very early period. Thomas Fairchild, the pioneer settler at Stratford, was twice married and had several children. (37; CBR)
"The following spring seventeen families, including about sixty persons, on foot and on horse-back, threaded their way through the wilderness from Wheathersfield, forded the Pootatuck, and halted at the red man's Cupheag and named it home. How familiar to us are many of the names on the lips of the settlers that day as they addressed one another? Blakeman, Fairchild, Curtis, Sherwood, Judson, Wilcoxson, Beardsley? a real Stratford in miniature, small in numbers but not in extent, as the original township embraced most of the land afterwards?They were landed at the mouth of Mack's Creek where the settlers made a temporary abiding place? huts, tents and meeting-house? until the division of the land could be affected." (39; Stratford's 250th Anniv.)
Merritt Mullen shows her as the daughter of Robert FAIRCHILD and Nancy TAYLOR. He also notes that she may have been born in Georgia instead of South Carolina.
At the time of the 1920 census, she was living with her son and daughter in law, John and Mary Coleman, in New Orleans. Son Benjamin was living in the adjacent household. Both sons worked in the shipyards.

His FindAGrave memorial page, created by Jeff Hubbard, links him to his parents, Bulin and Sarah E. Faircloth, both buried at the Elizabeth Missonairy Baptist Church Cemetery in Bonnetsville.
A relative of Sheryl Falk, Diane Kramer, indicated that after searching "Emigration Records and German Birth and Baptismal Records" she found their common ancestor, Andreas Falker, from Siefersheim, Hessen, about 48 miles from Darmstadt which is listed as where he was from on all records after his marriage records. She added that Lutheran Church Baptismal Records in Baden, Germany show he was born Feb 9, 1845. This is consistent with Walter Falk (Sr)'s "birthday book" entry of Feb 8 or 9, 1845. This also fits with his marriage to Katherina in a Lutheran church in Monroe.
Diane added that Baptismal records list his parents as Adam Falk and Susanna Mebus Falk who married Nov 4, 1841.Adam's father was named Andreas, so it looks like Andrew was named after his grandfather.Andrew also had a sister Frederika Catharina Falk who was born May 14, 1843, two years before him. Susanna's parents, and therefore Andrew's grandparents, were Joh Lorenz Mebus and Catherina Mebus.
The German Emigration Registry shows Andrew purchased passage (meaning legally registered to emigrate) April 1, 1867 in Mainz, Germany and listed his birth as 1845 and place of origin as Siefersheim. He departed later that same year, but from where exactly or the name of the ship Diane still doesn't have.
In an earlier post to a genealogy message board, Diane indicated that Andrew died ca 1881 in Ohio.
