Archibald Baxter.
Archibald Baxter, ex-president of the New York Produce Exchange, and a leading member of the Church of the Pilgrims of this city, died yesterday at his home, 21 Pierrepont street, aged 63 years. His death was unexpected, as he had been in good health until Sunday, when he was attacked with cholera morbus. Mr. Baxter was born in Greenock, Scotland, and coming to this country when he was 33 years old established himself in the produce and shipping business. He remained actively engaged in that occupation until last Saturday. In 1863 and 1864 he was president of the New York Commercial Association (now the Produce Exchange), and served as one of the managers of the Exchange in 1869 and 1870 also in 1872 and 1873. For years he had been established in business at 17 Broadway, New York. In commercial circles, as in church and social circles in this city he held a high and honorable position. Dr. Storrs regarded him as one his most valued supporters.
