He was a native of the town of Deerfield, the son of the late Malcom and Sally M. Hetherington Blue, and all his life was spent on a farm. On the death of his father he succeeded to the management of the home place where he carried on farming successfully in North Gage until 12 years ago when he moved to Holland Patent. He had since occupied the Townsend homestead in that village, more generally known as " the old cobblestone house." He was married at North Gage to Miss Elizabeth McIntyre of that place, who died January 1906. They had four children, who all survive, Alexander Blue of South Trenton, Proff. Daniel M. Blue of Boonville, Archibald Blue of Lee Center, and Miss Ella Mae Blue who lived at home.
In October 1911, he was married to Mrs. Mabel Evans of Holland Patent, who survives.
He is also survived by one brother Hon. A. Grant Blue, former member of Assembly, and one sister, Mrs. John K. Walker of Holland Patent.

Arch M. Blue was a man of sterling character, a staunch and loyal friend, and enjoyed the highest respect and esteem of everyone who knew him.

He was a valued member of North Gage Baptist Church and also of Trenton Lodge, F. and A.M. He was a member of the Supervisors and Ex-Supervisors Association of this county.
