Shelby County, Missouri Obituary - Andrew McBroom

Shelbina Democrat, May 5, 1870:  ®517
Died of cancer of his face, at the house of his son, P.G. McBroom,
Andrew McBroom, in the eighty-sixth year of his age. The cancer, for
three years, was slowly eating and spreading, until it destroyed his
nose entirely. Some six weeks before his death he was confined to the
house, and during the last ten days, to his bed. From the time he ceased
visiting among his children and grandchildren, he was tenderly and
carefully waited upon day and night by P.G. McBroom and wife, till his
death at noon on Tuesday the 26th of April 1870. He endured his
affliction patiently. He was a member of the M.E. Church south of Bacon
Chapel, for several years and a good neighbor; a kind father and a
peaceful citizen and left no enemies.
