Charlotte Observer,  August 3, 1922
MONROE, Aug. 2. - Calvin Broom, one of the most aged citizens of the county, 
died Thursday morning at the home of his son, Bunyan Broom, in Sampson county.  
The body was carried to Waxhaw Saturday for interment.  For the past several 
years Mr. Broom had spent a good part of his time with his son in Sampson 
county, although he often visited his daughter, Mrs. Frank A. Krauss, in 
Waxhaw, and had left her home about three weeks before his death.  Deceased was 
93 years of age.  He was a factor in the development of the town of Waxhaw.

He was three times married, all his wives preceding him to the grave.  Three 
sons and three daughters survive.  The sons are W.C. Broom, of Waxhaw; Bunyan 
Broom, of Sampson; Cecil Broom, of West Virginia; and the daughters are Mrs. 
F.A. Krauss, of Waxhaw; Mrs. James Garrison, of Georgia, and Mrs. Carrie 
McLeod, of Georgia.  One brother, Burrell Broom, of Belair, S.C., and one 
sister, Mrs. Abe Walker, of Sandy Ridge township, also survive.

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon in the Old Waxhaw Baptist church, 
and the interment was in the cemetery at that place.  A large crowd of 
relatives and friends attended.
