"Richard Broyles, probably the oldest resident of Nodaway county, died
at his home in Green township Sunday night, aged over 92 years. He was
born in East Tennessee in 1810 and came to Missouri in 1836, spending
the first winter in St. Joseph, where his wife died.
In 1837 he came to Nodaway county and located in what is now Green
township, where he has lived ever since. For almost fifty years he
hardly left the county and his first ride on the cars was from Maryville
to St. Joseph about fifteen or twenty years ago.
Mr. Broyles was married in Tennessee before coming to Missouri. His wife
died the first year he was here and he was afterwards married again. His
second wife dying he was married the third time, his last wife surviving
him.
To the Tennessee marriage three sons and a daughter were born. Two of
the sons of this marriage, Asa and Jeff, live in Nodaway county. The other
son, Solomon, was at one time chief of police at St. Joseph. He is dead.
To the second marriage three sons were born, all of whom are dead. Four
children were born to the last marriage, three of whom are still living.
During his entire life Mr. Broyles never had a sick spell until the one
that caused his death. As a young man he was of collossal height and
build, being over six feet tall and weighing more than 200 pounds. For
the last few years he weighed only 150 and had become considerably stooped.
He had used tobacco for eighty years.
The funeral will occur Tuesday at the Cain cemetery." [235]
