Archer, Vicar of Newcastle, County Wicklow. The grave has closed on him in the flower of youth, in whom was centred the scholar, the gentleman, and, above all, the Christian. Virtue and pure religion were exemplified in his life and conversation - his memory will remain embalmed in the minds of his afflicted relations and the friendly circle of his associates - their consolation is, that he was fitted for that call - "Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord".
