Anderson R. Broadaway, a prominent merchant of Lake City, is a native
of Craighead County, born August 1, 1850. He is a son of Judge
Broadaway [see sketch of Jesse C. Broadaway], and like his father, by
energy, enterprise and strict integrity, has attained the position
among his fellow citizens of a leading business man. He grew to manhood
in this county, and remained at home until his father's death, in 1885.
In early life he engaged in farming, but in 1883 began selling
groceries in Jonesboro, and continued in that business for three years,
at the same time dealing in railroad ties, timber, etc. In 1887 he
purchased an established business at Lake City, and has since been
enjoying a splendid trade in general merchandise. He keeps a good
stock, and has established an enviable reputation for fair and strictly
honest dealing. June 4, 1874, he was united in marriage with Julia
Minton, a native of Alabama, and daughter of F. M. Minton. Their union
has been blessed by two children: Ira Galon and Era E. Mr. Broadaway is
a member of the Knights and Ladies of Honor, and both he and wife
belong to the Missionary Baptist Church.
