Biography
Archie Thomas Newsom, born in the brisk year of 1894, took in the sweeping changes between the 19th and 20th centuries and made his mark by tending to the calm neighborhoods around Mountain View. He relied on hard work, a steady hand, and a warm sense of duty to be the kind of neighbor others could turn to when storms rolled through the Bay Area.
Even in retirement, he savored the small celebrations of family and friends, always looking forward to quiet afternoons on the hills above Mountain View. His name now rests in Mountain View Cemetery, where the peaceful slope keeps watch over the community he loved.
