Dr. Oze Robert Broyles, formerly a citizen of Anderson, died
at his home in Washington County, East Tennessee, on Wed.
6th inst., in the 57th year of his age.  He had been confined
to his bed for a long time with a lingering illness, and on 
the 5th inst., he was attacked with paralysis, which caused
his death.  Dr. Broyles graduated from the University of 
Virginia, and was attending medical lectures at a College in
the city of New York at the time of the secession, when he 
came home and finished his course of lectures at the Medical
College in the city of Charleston.  He entered the Confederate
service in the late Col. John V. Moore's Battalion.  He served
with Gen. Lee's army in Virginia and Maryland from the time he
entered the service until the close of the war, and was with 
Gen. Lee at the time of the surrender at Appomattox.  He
practiced medicine in Anderson a few years after the war, and 
then moved to a plantation left him by his mother in Chuckey 
Valley, Washington County, East Tennessee.  He married Miss 
Ella Keith, a daughter of Rev. R.T. Keith, who was a well-known
Episcopal minister in the lower section of this State.  His 
wife and four children are left to mourn his death, and in their
bereavement they have the sympathies of many friends in Anderson.
The deceased's old friends and war comrades in this section will
regret to hear of his death.
