Archie was born on October 27, 1923 at his uncle's homestead 7 miles southeast of Conrad. He was the sixth of ten children born to James and Lillian Bishop, who homesteaded in the east community area in 1916. Archie attended Conrad High School and graduated in 1941. When World War II broke out, his brothers Argyle and Ralph entered the military, but Archie stayed home to help his dad with the farming. In November 1944, Archie was drafted and reported for duty in the U.S. Army. He served one year and two days, stateside in California and Washington state, and attained the rank of corporal. Upon his discharge in 1945, Archie returned home to the family farm. In 1946, he entered Montana State College, majoring in Agricultural Education. In 1947, his brother Argyle brought a young Havre girl named Doris Hellebust to visit the farm, and Doris had her younger sister Ruth in tow. Doris and A.U. married in 1948, and a year later, in June 1949, Archie and Ruth followed them to the altar. Archie graduated from MSC in 1950 and joined the Soil Conservation Service in Great Falls. He and Ruth moved to Chester in 1952, and in 1957 to Conrad. There, he spent the remainder of his career, finding joy in the fields and on the farms of his home county, leaving a legacy of kindness and conservation that is still fondly recalled. He retired in 1979 and soon took a job as the editor of a new agricultural newspaper, The Prairie Star. Again, Archie found happiness mingling with farmers and ranchers, writing articles, taking pictures, and driving around his beloved home state. He retired from the Prairie Star in 2004. Archie was very active in Pondera Valley Lutheran Church, Montana Farmers Union, and the Democratic Party. Ruth and Archie celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in June 2009, but Ruth died of cancer just five months later. After her death, Archie lived for 3 1/2 years at the Horizon Lodge in Conrad, then spent his final 3 1/2 years at Grizzly Peak in Missoula. Archie is survived by two daughters and their husbans; two sons and their wives; and one brother. He leaves behind 12 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.
