The Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta, Ga, October 11, 1883
Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Arnold Broyles
   Last evening at thirty minutes after eight o’clock Mrs. Elizabeth Arnold 
Broyles, wife of Colonel E.N. Broyles, breathed her last of earth at the family 
residence No. 149 Gullett street.  Mrs. Broyles was seized with her mortal 
illness something over two weeks ago, and has since been prostrated upon a bed 
pain, suffering nearly all the time excruciating pangs and constantly tending 
toward her final dissolution.  She had the constant attention and solace of all 
that family and loving friends could bring to her relief, while the highest 
medical skill of the city was summoned to her bed side.  All efforts to check 
the ravages of her malady were fruitless, and death came to her as an almost 
welcome forlorn relief from suffering.  
   Mrs. Broyles was a daughter of General Thomas D. Arnold, of Tennessee, and 
was born at Greenville, East Tennessee, in the month of April 1838.  She 
inherited much of the vigorous brain and sterling character of her father, and 
early gave evidence of being remarkable for intellectual force and moral 
exaltation.  She was educated at College Temple, Newnan, Georgia, under the 
direction of Professor M. P. Kellogg, and was a classmate of Mrs. Mary E. Bryan 
at that institution.  These two ladies were always warm friends and mutual 
admirers, the one of the other.  Mrs. Broyles had the literary faculty highly 
developed and her contributions to the current periodical literature of the 
south, over the initials “E.A.B” have always found favor with many thousands of 
readers.
   She was a lady of estimable qualities and numbered a large circle of friends 
in this city and in Cedartown, Rome and Milledgeville, in which places she had 
formerly resided.  She leaves a devoted husband and four young children, all of 
whom are prostrated by their bereavement.  She was the daughter of Mrs. General 
Arnold, and sister of Colonel Reuben Arnold, Frank A. Arnold, Thomas D. Arnold 
and Mrs. Sam W. Small, all of this city.  The sympathies of the entire 
community will be with them in this season of grief.
---The funeral services will be held at St. Phillips church at 10 o’clock 
tomorrow (Friday) morning. (The Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta, Ga, October 11, 
1883)
