Archie Charles Woodhurst was born on August 9th 1904 of parents Walter (1) Woodhurst and his first wife Grace Curtis, possibly in Concord, Michigan.
The US 1920 Census finds him living at age "14" with his parents in Pulaski township, Jackson County, Michigan. His age then was actually 15.
For at least part of his life he lived in Spring Arbor in Jackson County, Michigan.
Relatives report the following: he married Mabel Elogene Greening on October 28th 1923; she was born at Albion in Calhoun County, Michigan on October 5th 1907 of parents Howard Glen Greening and Edith Estella (nee) Hewitt, who were both born in Branch County, Michigan; she first married Harold Gurske; she and Archie produced the two children listed below.
The Political Graveyard website records that he was a Member of the Michigan Prohibition State Central Committee in 1951-53; that in 1952 and 1960 he stood as the Prohibition candidate for the Presidential Elector for Michigan, and in 1958 as the Prohibition candidate for the U.S. Representative from Michigan 2nd District; and that he was roundly defeated in all those elections.
It is suspected that he subsequently remarried to a woman having forenames Helen A. whose maiden name is unknown.
He later resided at Lake Placid, Highlands in Florida, and died on July 12th 1972. The dates of his birth and death are recorded in the American Social Security Death Index and in the Michigan Deaths Index.
An unattributed LDS Family Group Record states that Mabel died on February 13th 1992.
The SSDI records that Helen A. was born on November 2nd 1909 and died in 1974. It gives her last residence as 49283 Jackson in Jackson County, and her SSN (issued in Michigan before 1951) as 375-32-9533. The Michigan Deaths Index cites her place of residence as Spring Arbor, Jackson County.
