Archie G. Blowers, a representative farmer of Plainview Township, was 
born in Olmsted County, Minnesota, September 21, 1882, son of Morris 
L. and Lottie A. (Brink) Blowers. When two years old he moved with 
his parents across the line into Wabasha County, and subsequently 
became a pupil in the Woodland district school. He grew to manhood 
on his parent's farm, on which he has always remained. On his father's 
death in July, 1912, he became it's manager and has since operated it 
very successfully, having made some decided improvements on it. The 
property now comprises 152 1/2 acres, consisting of the old home farm 
of 105 acres, 65 of which are in Plainview Township, and 40 in Quincey 
Township (Olmsted County), and 47 1/2 acres which he owns in 
Quincey Township. Mr. Blowers is following general diversified 
farming according to modern and scientific methods, and with good 
pecuniary results. He keeps a good grade of stock, including Poland-
China swine, and is a member of the Farmers' Shipping Association. His 
fraternal affiliations are with the Modern Woodmen of America, while 
politically he is a Republican. He was married February 26, 1913, to 
Mary Viola Duerrwaechter, daughter of William and Sarah 
Duerrwaechter, farmers of Plainview Township. He and his wife are 
affiliated with the Methodist church.
