He has a good farm well stocked and well improved.
On the 10th of October, 1844, he was married to Miss Melinda D. FAUBION, a daughter of Rev. Jacob FAUBION, an early settler of this county.

Mary A., Cynthia E. and Franklin S. are deceased. The Judge and his family are members of the M.E. Church South.
In 1860 Judge BROADHURST was elected to the office of justice of the peace, the duties of which he discharged for four years. Eight years afterwards he was elected a member of the county court, and held that office for six years. In 1882 he was re-elected to the county bench for a term of six years, and is now serving out his second term. He takes a commendable and public-spirited interest in the affairs of the county, and the fact that they are conducted on principles of business intelligence and economy, and are in an enviable condition, is due to the close attention, efficiency and good judgment which characterize the official conduct of the members of its county court. Judge BROADHURST is a man of good business qualifications and high character, and is one of the highly esteemed citizens of the county.
