Quincy Daily Whig newspaper, November 21, 1907 ***JUDGE BROADY'S FINAL SUMMONS *** WELL KNOWN JURIST AND CITIZEN PASSED AWAY LAST EVENING AT 8:40 *** Had Been Unconscious the Greater Part of the Time Since He Was Stricken, Tuesday Evening *** John C. BROADY, former circuit judge of this district and a life-long resident of Adams county, died last evening at 8:40 o'clock, of cerebral hemorrhage, with which he was stricken Tuesday evening at 10:30, and from which he never rallied.

Throughout the past summer, the Judge noted his health was gradually declining, but said little to his friends about it. He was able to continue his practice and was almost daily at his office, up to and including the day he was stricken.

He was nominated for circuit judge in the democratic convention of 1897, never having been a candidate for office up until that time, and was elected to the bench, where he presided as a fair and impartial judge for six years. At the expiration of his term he continued the practice of law, until his final summons came. Judge BROADY was twice married, his first wife, Miss Mollie TAYLOR, having preceded him in death 20 years ago. To this union one son, Bruce BROADY, was born.
