Mary E. (Lizzie) Brown Edmiston passed away in 1874 in Baylis, Illinois apparently from childbirth. Archie then married a widow, Nancy Jane Pence O'Brien, and they had two children. In the 1880 Census his birth year was estimated as 1833. At some point in time the family moved to Nebraska; however, Robert and William did not like Nebraska and returned to Illinois. Their sister, Martha, died as an infant less than a year old.

1900 Census puts Archie and his daughter, Annie, living in Grant township, Hamilton County Nebraska. The report states that he is 66 years on the census day June 14, 1900. His estimated year of birth is 1834.

1910 Census has Archie living with his daughter, Sadie Edmiston Dahlke, and her family. Archie was widowed and 76 with an estimated birth year of 1834. The year of birth on the stone appears to be an error. There is also a discrepancy between the year on the marker and the year given in a memorial edit.

Family records show that he was born in Ireland in September 1833 and he passed in March 1912 in Aurora. He was life long farmer.
