George M. Broadaway, a substantial agriculturist and stock dealer of
Craighead County, was born in Lincoln County, Tenn., January 1, 1832,
and is a son of Yancy and Elizabeth (Hodges) Broadaway, natives of
North Carolina and Tennessee, respectively [see sketch of Jesse C.
Broadaway]. January 3, 1856, he was united in marriage with Delila
Cline, who was born in Alabama August 21, 1836, and died December 23,
1861. Of this union two children were the issue: John C. and Andrew C.
January 20, 1868, Miss Cynthia Barnett became his second wife. She is a
native of Mississippi, and a daughter of John and Jano (Willhite)
Barnett, natives of Middle Tennessee, who came to Arkansas in 1864. Mr.
Broadaway enlisted, in 1862, in the support of the Confederate cause,
and served until the surrender. He has a large, nicely improved farm,
and devotes much time and care to stock raising. He is a thorough
Democrat, and in the support of progress and enterprise, one of the
foremost men of the county. Mrs. Broadaway is a member of the Baptist
denomination, which church the family attend.
