  History of Outagamie County, Wisconsin Page 0675
  ARCHIE BEGGS, who during a long and active life carried on agricultural pursuits in Outagamie county, is one of the self-made men of this section, having started to work as a boy of eight years in a Massachusetts cotton factory and worked his way to a place among the substantial men of Seymour township. He was born in the Province of Quebec, Canada, October 16, 1837, son of William and Jane (Craig) Beggs, who were married in Scotland and had begun farming operations when William Beggs lost his life by drowning in the English river. At that time Archie Beggs was an infant and his mother took him to live with his grandfather, Archibald Craig, who died when Archie was a lad of eight years. The lad was without friends and with no alternative but to support himself, and he eventually found employment in a Massachusetts cotton factory, working for an old lady by the name of Mrs. Simples. When only sixteen or seventeen years of age he made his way west to Wisconsin, settling at Belle Plaine, and started work in the lumber mills and on the river, occupations which he continued until settling on 120 acres of wild land in Seymour township. His present fine property bears little resemblance to the wilderness which he found on first coming to this section, and the handsome frame residence in which he now resides brings no memories of the rude log cabin which was his first home; nor do the beautiful shade trees which he has planted to ornament his well-kept lawn suggest the heavy, gnarled timber which he was compelled to uproot before he could plant his first crop. Mr. Beggs has taken part in the marvelous development of Outagamie county, and has done his full share of duty to himself and to his township. In 1865 Mr. Beggs was married to Anna Easton, also a native of Quebec, born May 12, 1841, a daughter of William and Mary (Thompson) Easton, who came from Scotland. Four children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Beggs, namely: Anna, deceased, who married a Mr. Clark; Mamie, who married a Mr. Clark; Jessie, who is now Mrs. Risener, and Sadie, who is living at home with her father. The family is connected with the Congregational Church.
