Hannibal Journal, April 29, 1847
In summing up the losses sustained by the Missouri Volunteers in New Mexico, 
the Paris Mercury pays the following merited tribute to Thomas B. Archer, 
formerly of this city.

"Thomas B. Archer, Esq'r., died on the 1st of February near Taos.  He had been 
in bad health for some time, and insisted on accompanying Col. Price's forces 
against the enemy, and died during the expedition.  He was as brave and 
generous a soul as ever lived, and has left many warm and ardent friends in 
this county, who will long cherish his memory and lament his untimely end."

Additional Comments:
The expedition was referring to the fighting in the War against Mexico.
