Notes for Archie Leon Stearns:
That success may be won in the golden west if one but has the energy and perseverance to take the hard knocks that come his way, make the best of them, and keep on trying, is fully proved in the career of A. L. Stearns of Spencer, Nebraska. Mr. Stearns was early thrown on his own resources, having made his own way since the age of eleven years.
Mr. Stearns was born in Blue Earth County, Minnesota, December 1, 1879. His parents were also from that state, and came to Nebraska in 1890, settling on a homestead near Spencer and it was about that time of their removal here that the boy started to support himselft by working on farms and ranches. He was at various times employed around livery barns caring for horses, and in this way became thoroughly familiar with every detail of the livery business, at which he has made such a success.
During 1904 he located in Gregory and Dallas, South Dakota, for three years running a livery barn in both towns, returning to Spencer in 1910. Here he purchased a well equipped livery establishment, built up a good trade, and through strict attention to business, a thorough knowledge of the country and a splendid ability in his line of work, he became one of the dependable men of his community. February 25, 1911, he sold his livery business since which time he has been employed by Dr. H. A. Skelton.
Mr. Stearns was married in Hurley, South Dakota November 20, 1903 to Nina Pelmulder and to them have been born three children, namely: Carmen M., Richard F., and Harold. They have a very pleasant and comfortable home and are worthy members of society, having a host of warm friends in Spencer and vicinity.
Mr. Stearns has always been a staunch republican. He is a member of the Woodmen of the World, and the National Benevolent Society of Spencer.
The greater part of Mr. Stearn's life has been spent in the frontier countries. While living in Minn. wolves were plentiful, the big grey wolf, black wolves and numerous coyotes being found in considerable numbers in their section. Also, black bear were occasionally killed, while dear were not infrequently seen. At times the family had as a dwelling the primitive dugout and sod house. They knew privation and hardship, as did most of the pioneers who pushed out west from the far eastern towns and thicker settlements, but were of a hardy stock who never let triffles bother them and kept happy and lighthearted through trouble and discomforts.
