Archie was the son of Francis & Esta Matson Wolverton. He attended school in Dickens. He was married Jan. 9, 1933 to Helen Dark, also of Dickens. She was the daughter of Clyde & Myrtle Dark. Archie was employed by the Burlington Railroad in Elsie and was also the city marshal. Archie met a tragic death June 18, 1946. The section men were unloading a car body in the railroad yards in Elsie. It had been moved from the flat car to the cribbing. Something went wrong and the cribbing gave way, crushing Archie between the car body and a boxcar. He and Helen had three children Maxine, Noreen, & Stanley.
