Before 1928, Arch moved to Texas, where he married a widow named Louise Olinger, who was originally from Iowa. They had been married about 3 years at census time in 1930. In 1929 he and Louise were recorded in the San Antonio (Bexar County), Texas, City Directory.

At some point, Archie moved to Ft Worth, where he lived out his life, dying in 1939. When he died he was the manager of a Package (Liquor) Store in Ft Worth. By then he was going by his middle name Lee. Note also that his wife reported his father's name as Ben J Butler, but records report his name as Bernard Benjamin Butler. Archie Lee was very young when his father died, so it is possible he thought his father's name was Benjamin J Butler. Lee had a brother named John Benjamin.
