Notes for Derwood F. Broaddus
The family surname is spelled Brouddus in most early records, including his marriage license, and as Broaddus in most later ones, including his death certificate and gravestone. I’m entering it in my database as Broaddus because that seems to be the spelling that most male-line descendants used.
His death certificate records Deerwood F. Broaddus, age 89 years 8 months 4 days, born 25 Dec 1860 (this date is very inconsistent with census records) in Kentucky, died 29 Aug 1950 in Marceline, Linn Co., Missouri, widowed, wife Sally Broaddus (deceased), occupation retired gardner, father Walter Broaddus, mother’s maiden name unknown, cause of death carcinoma of prostate, informant Walter Broaddus, Marceline, Mo, burial in Roselawn Cemetery.
