Little is documented about Mary B. Archer’s own service with Near East Relief. She was born Mary Balderston and married Laird William Archer (1892–1981) in 1919. Her name appears among the overseas personnel in Near East Relief’s records, which indicates that she was counted as a field worker in her own right rather than as an accompanying spouse. The details of where and when she served, and the nature of her work, have not come down to us, and her birth and death years are not established. If you are related to Mary B. Archer or hold photographs, letters, or family stories about her service, we would be glad to hear from you at [email protected].
