John was the son of Oliver Archer and Harriet Manning.
John enlisted from Iowa City, along with his brothers Benjamin and William, as a Private in Company "H", 22nd Iowa Infantry on 3 September 1862. At an unknown date, he was transferred to the Mississippi River Marine Brigade. (More than 800 Iowans served in the U.S. Navy in the Civil War, most of them in that unit.) His discharge date is unknown, though it was almost certainly before 2 June 1864, when he applied for a federal pension.
After the War, he was a member of Kirkwood Post #8, Grand Army of the Republic (GAR).
