He was born in Osnabruck Township in Upper Canada in 1837,[1] the son of John Archibald and Eliza Dixon.[2] He was educated at Upper Canada College and served as a Lieutenant in No. 6 company of the 59th Stormont and Glengarry Battalion during the Fenian Raid of 1870.[3] In 1881, he married Gertrude Wood.[2] Archibald served as reeve of Osnabruck from 1866 to 1869. Archibald also served as paymaster for the local militia.[1] In 1881, he went to Dundas, Minnesota, where he joined his brother Edward's flour milling business.[3] He retired from that business in 1892 and moved to Northfield, Minnesota,[2] where he died in 1914.[3]
