Raleigh Register 7 Nov 1843
Died

At his residence in Cabarrus county on the 8th October, Archibald Houston, Esq. 
long known in the community as one of our most useful and respectable citizens. 
He had filled various offices in the gift of the people with credit to himself, 
and usefulness to the public. He was the first Sheriff of the county of Cabarrus 
and had represented the county in both branches of the State Legislature. He was 
remarkable for his firmness of purpose and integrity of character; and in all the 
relations of life, sustained himself as an honest man and good citizen. As a 
father and husband his private virtues and devoted attachments will only cease to 
be remembered, when the numerous and respectable family of which he was the head, 
shall be no more. In public life, while he was decided and firm in his opinions, 
he was just and liberal in his views and was a republican in practice as well as 
profession. He died in the triumphs of the Christian faith and with this 
consolation and the recollection of his many virtues, his name will long be 
revered and affectionately cherished by his numerous kindred and friends.
