The Chico Enterprise, Chico, CA, Saturday Evening, November 2, 1918: 
"Mrs. A.C. Broyles 50-Year Resident Enters Into Rest. Mrs. A.C. Broyles 
for half a century a resident of this city, departed from life this 
afternoon at exactly 2 o'clock at the family home, Second and Hazel 
streets.

She had been siezed with a stroke of paralysis yesterday morning, 
following an attack of illness last May from which she never entirely 
recovered and had fought bravely for life up to the last moment. Mrs. 
Broyles was born in Canandaigua, Ontario county, New York, September 
26, 1856. She was as a girl Eliza Fitch Cheney, the daughter of Mr. 
and Mrs. William Fitch Cheney of Chico.

She received her early education in the Woodman Seminary here and 
subsequently taught school in Chico under Rev. Jesse Wood. On July 
23, 1874, she was married to A. Courtney Broyles, who survives. She 
was the niece of Right Rev. Bishop Cheney, a noted divine of Chicago, 
who died two years ago. Also surviving are her son, William Burney 
Broyles, his wife and their little daughter, and her daughter, Lady 
Claire Broyles.
