DEATH OF MICHAEL BRODERICK - An Aged and Respected Citizen of Lonaconing Answers the Last Summons
Our people were surprised and pained on Monday morning to learn of the death of Michael Broderick, Sr., who had been a resident of Lonaconing for many years, and who was respected and held in high esteem, by all who knew him. Mr. Broderick was born in County Galway, Ireland and at the time of death was aged 78 years, and six months. He emigrated to America in 1843; settling in Baltimore, where he remained a few months; later being engaged in the construction of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. Shortly after the completion of that waterway in 1850, he removed to Pompey Smash, (Vale Summit) where he engaged with the Percy, Ford & Armstrong Mining Company. He was stationed at the dump in Clarysville where he served in the capacity of manifest clerk. About the year 1855 work in this mine was abandoned, and he moved to Newburg, Preston county, W Va, at which place he purchased and resided on a farm. In the year 1875, Mr Broderick with his family took up his abode in Lonaconing where he has since resided. He entered the employ of the New Central Coal Company, which company was at that time operating the mine known as 'Big Vein." At this period the deceased had a thrilling experience while aboard a train of mine cars, which were descending the plain. Without a moments warning the haulage rope broke, precipitating the cars to the dump at an almost incredible speed, and throwing him to the ground in such a manner that his escape from instant death was miraculous. When he regain[ed] consciousness, which was hours after the accident, it was found that the strain on his eyes had been so great, resulting from the force of the fall, that they assumed an unnatural position, and one which an operation failed to remedy. In the year 1843 the deceased was married to Miss Bridget O'Hara, of Frostburg, who with seven children survives him. He was a firm and consistent member of the Catholic church and died with the blessed assurances taught by his creed. The following named sons and daughters survive him: Messrs, John and Stephen of Lonaconing; Michael of Butte City, Montana; Lawrence of Corning, Ohio and three daughters, Mary Ellen, Bridget and Rose of Lonaconing. Three children, James, Elizabeth and Mrs Benjamin Colburn dead. The funeral took place from his late residence on Church street, Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock, proceeding to St Mary's church, where funeral services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. T J Stanton. The remains were conveyed to Westernport on the 10:30 o'clock train. Interment being made in the Catholic cemetery at that place.

BROOKINS, John H.

Jackson Butt, an engineer on the Eckhart branch railroad, discovered Tuesday morning the dead body of a man lying under the bridge in the roadway leading from Eckhart to Washington mine. An inquest followed, Justice Purnell, of Frostburg, officiating. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. It is supposed that in attempting to cross the bridge during Monday night he fell off. His neck was broken. A satchel by his side contained papers showing that he was a soldier of the civil war -- private in Company H, 55th Regiment of Volunteers, Pennsylvania Infantry. His name was John H. Brookins. Letters addressed to him at Point, Bedford county, Pa., and $4.25 were found in his pockets, Messrs, Gehauf & Mayer, undertakers, took charge of the remains until 6 o'clock Wednesday evening, when they were interred in the old graveyard. A reply to a telegram of inquiry Tuesday, sent to Point, stated that Brookins had no living relatives.
Since the above was written the following letter has been received.
Point, Pa., July 29, 1891.
Mr. Clayton Purnell.
I received your dispatch last evening and just merely answered that John H. Brookins did not have any friends living. I will now give you all the information I can about him:
John H. Brookins enlisted in Co. H, 55th Reg't, Pa., Vols., in the summer of 1862. I was then orderly sergeant of the company. He was a brave soldier and always ready for duty, but a private's duty was distasteful to him. He was a splendid penman, and finally got a clerkship at headquarters, where he remained most of his service. He was promoted to chief clerk at the headquarters of Gen. Grant in 1864 and serve I as such, I believe, until his discharge on the 2d day of June, 1865.
Since the war he has been roving all over the United States, teaching writing school and preparing and selling family records for a living. He would come to see me about once a year and was here in the spring. He was an applicant for a pension under the new law and his claim was about complete; he would probably have received it soon. He has no friends living; he told me of a brother who lived in New York State that died several years ago. I don't think the man ever had or carried much money, as he would drink hard. He was a dyspeptic and in a very bad condition at times. His mind, I think, was sometimes affected of late years.

I am very truly yours.~Josiah Hissong

In addition to the above, the following endorsement is written upon Brookins' "certificate of service," a paper found among his effects:
The night before the capture of Petersburg and Hatchers Run, Va., private John H. Brookins was selected by Capt. M. V. Barber officer of picket, guard, under orders from Brig. Gen. Foster, to examine the grounds between the two forces and ascertain any natural or artificial impediments in view of an early attack. He made the examination, returning under musketry firing by both forces, and brought correct information. On the following morning, in advance of his regiment and brigade, he went on the enemy's ground before he knew they had surrendered.
The above record is an extract from the military record of John H. Brookings.
Josiah Hissong
Late Capt. Co. H., 55th Reg. P. V.

The letter to Mr. Purnell furnished no particulars other than was contained in Capt. Hissoung's telegram, the burial took place as above stated, members of the Grand Army and other old soldiers attending, Thoburn Post, of this place, bearing the expense. Brookins appeared to be between 55 and 60 years of age. He was, as indicated by Capt. Hissong's letter, a man of more that ordinary education and culture.
