Bernard, also of Beaumont, and two sisters, Mrs. Coroell Eastham of Beaumont and Mrs. Clara Gilliland of Port Arthur and seven grandchildren. Although Mr. Broussard was born at the old Broussard home which stands on the beach near the new town of Sabine, he spent most of his early years abroad. When 15 years of age his parents sent him to France where he studied for four years at St. Vincent's college, located 18 miles from Paris. After completing his work there, he went to Scotland where he studied for two years. He was 21 years of age when he returned to this country and relatives say he often spoke of arriving at Galveston after a stormy trip across the ocean. He was met there by his father, Moise Broussard, and his brother, Sidney Broussard, who had gone horseback to Galveston and had led his horse that he might have a conveyance home. He also spoke of crossing Galveston bay on an oldtime ferry boat which then took the few travelers across to the island city.
