Arizona Republican-October 19, 1901
Mr. John Shreve Archer died very suddenly yesterday forenoon 
of acute dilatation of the heart.  He was taken very violently 
ill about midnight Thursday and though his private physician 
was at hand, the patient grew worse.  Yesterday morning other 
local physicians were called in but nothing could be done.

Mr. Archer was 37 years old and was born in Dayton Ohio.  
His father was one of the first linseed oil manufacturers 
in the United States and invented and patented much of the 
machinery used in linseed oil manufacture, machinery, most 
of which has not since been improved upon.  The young man 
grew up in a business environment and at the early age of 
16 went into business for himself in St. Paul.

A few years ago himself and brother were prime movers in 
the organization of what is now known as the American Linseed 
Oil Company. The dead man is well known in business circles 
all over the northwest including Montana, Oregon and 
Washington and came from the latter state to Phoenix.  
His health was not good and he was first attracted to 
Arizona about two years ago by its mild and healthful 
climate. He improved so rapidly he became an enthusiast 
on the subject and built a sanitarium on North central 
Avenue as he said for the purpose of regaining his own 
health and affording a home for others similarly afflicted.

Dr. H.H. Stone came here with him in the capacity of private
physician and has made his home at the sanitarium where he 
could be in constant attendance with him.  Mr. Archer was 
feeling remarkably well on Thursday and was in the city but 
began to feel bad in the evening and by midnight his 
condition was alarming. He was not a married man but 
two sisters were at his bedside in the closing hours.  
Undertaker Bradley prepared the body for shipment and it
will be sent to Dayton and placed in the family vault.  
The sisters of the dead man and Dr. Stone, his physician 
and trusted friend will escort the remains on the sad 
journey east and after the funeral will return to Phoenix 
for the winter.
