BROADDUS
Thomas L. Broaddus departed this life on the evening of Nov. 1st, at 8 o'clock, at the age of seventy-three years and two months. He is survived by his wife, who has been his devoted helpmate for fifty-one years, and an only child, Mrs. Will Lear, and two grand-daughters, Mrs. Ross Bastin and Mrs. B. C. Rose. He also leaves four brothers, Messrs. Elijah, Wm., George, and B. M. Broaddus and two sisters, Mrs. Margaret Lane and Mrs. B. L. Kelley. Mr. Broaddus united with the Christian Church at Bethel in his early manhood and was a most faithful member. To the request of his mother on her dying bed to keep Bethel up, he was true and loyal, and although the old church weakened in member-ship as well as its building, he was ever its support, never moving his membership, and the last active work he did was to help superintend its rebuilding three years ago. Having been in ill-health for the last thirty years, he bore his suffering with uncomplaining fortitude. He loved his relatives and friends devotedly. Being a general favorite with all, his advice and counsel was frequently sought on many matters and on every occasion, he displayed sound judgment and always closed his remarks with an admonition to do the right thing. The rule of his life was to stand for the
right, if he had to stand alone. This is exemplified in the fact that after the Prohibition party became recognized as a party, he never voted any other way.
When remonstrated with, by a friend, who told him he was losing his vote; he smilingly answered, "I've never lost a vote, they are all recorded up yonder." The remains were buried in the Lancaster cemetery, Sunday afternoon at 2:30, short services by Rev. F. M. Tinder in the presence of a large number of sorrowing friends, who were there to pay the last tribute of respect and love to this good man.
To the bereaved family, we can only say, Trust to your Heavenly Father for help during these dark hours; for life at its greatest length is but a brief span, and were it not for the promises of a joyful reunion, were pain and sorrow and separations never come, despair would envelop us. But so short is the tenure of life, and our pilgrimage here so brief, that the time of parting, and the reunion for time-eternal is only a little way off. Tenderly he was loved and cherished and now may we cherish his memory by a reflection of his example of living in our own lives.
