In 1886, he purchased a building in the city of Cumberland and established a general store. Using his knowledge of the retail business, he soon built up a successful business, the result of which was that he rented out the farm, moved to the city and devoted his entire time to the store. In 1893, his health begin to fail and he was forced to retire from the store, and remained an invalid until his death.

J. I. BROEFFLE came to Cumberland in 1883. He at once purchased a farm about one and one half miles south west of the center of the city, and proceeded to clear up the same. He has now 60 acres of it under good cultivation, a good farm house and out fixtures, in fact he has one of the model farms of the country. He has raised over 60 tons of hay, large quantities of vegetables, and grain in a single year. In 1887 he purchased the business property which he now occupies and started in with a small stock of groceries. As business kept increasing, he increased his stock adding Notions and Dry Goods. In his dealings he has the reputation of being fair and honorable, and in so doing he has built up a large and profitable trade. Here-to-fore he has looked after both farm and store, but the increase of his city business has been so great that he has been compelled to rent his farm, and now he gives his whole attention to the store. Mr. Broeffle is an honored citizen of this community and we bespeak for him a large share of the increase of business in our prosperous city.

J. I. Broeffle came to Cumberland in March 1883, first locating on his farm now occupied and managed by his son. In the fall of 1886 Mr. Broeffle purchased business property in this city and opened a small stock of goods. This he has added to as his trade required, until he now carries a large and well selected stock of general merchandise. Merchandising was no experiment with Mr. Broeffle as he had formerly been engaged in it on an extensive scale in Canada, and his excellent business qualifications together with his personal popularity have assured the success of his business enterprise.

Obituary
J. I. BROEFFLE
At his home in this city at 6 o'clock Monday morning occurred the death of J. I. Broeffle, one of our oldest pioneers and a very highly respected citizen. Mr. Broeffle has been afflicted with creeping paralysis for the past seven years, which malady was the direct cause of his death. The funeral services were conducted at the Congregational church yesterday and interment was made in the city cemetery Rev. Heberlein directing the ceremony.
Jacob I. Broeffle was born 65 years ago in Williamsburg, Dundas county, Canada, where he spent the greater portion of his life being engaged in mercantile and agricultural pursuits until 1883, when he came to this country purchasing a farm south of this city. He labored diligently and successfully upon the farm for three years, when he purchased the Gunderson property in this city and engaged in the merchandise business where he built up a profitable trade and added many friends to his large list. Steady confinement soon undermined his health and he was forced to retire from business in 1893. Since that date h has been a constant but patient sufferer from creeping paralysis.
The deceased was a believer of the Congregational faith and a devout member of that church at the time of his death. He leaves a wife, three daughters, three sons and a large concourse of friends to mourn his departure from this life.
