21 September 1859 ---- 30 August 1893

Thomas Broderick, of Eagle Grove Division No. 164. died at his home in Carroll. Iowa, last August. No man in the service was more widely known and but few, if any, could boast of more friends. He had no enemies. He was the friend of all mankind, faithful courteous and kind under any and all circumstances. Charitable to a fault, the needy never turned empty-handed from him. He has made his last trip; he has conducted his last train; he has answered his last call and gone out on his final run: he has crossed the dark river in the valley of the shadow of death and now rests from his labors in peace on the further and unknown shore. In the death of Bro. Thomas Broderick Eagle Grove Division No. 164, O. R. C. has lost a valued and useful member and the railroad service an honest, efficient and faithful servant. His division adopted resolutions of respect to his memory and sympathy with the bereaved relatives.

Thomas Broderick died at his home in the fourth Ward this afternoon at 4 o'clock. For a long time he has been a patient sufferer of Bright's disease. This spring he was compelled to give up his run as conductor on the Sioux City passenger train and in company with a number of friends went to Hot Springs in South Dakota hoping to find relief. After returning he visited the World's fair and on coming home a few days ago was taken worse and this afternoon quietly passed away. Mr. Broderick was a man who held the confidence and esteem of the company and the respect of all who knew him. He was a perfect specimen of physical manhood and his untimely end is all the more regretted.

He leaves a loving wife and three small children to mourn his loss, the youngest being but a few weeks old. The bereaved wife and mother and the children have the unalloyed sympathy in this sad hour of their deep affliction.

The embalming of the body of Thos. Broderick was done by R.R. Woodring and the perfect state of preservation it was on Sunday when exposed to view, speaks well for the perfection which our townsman has attained. Although the remains had been kept several days they appeared as natural as they did at the time of his death.
