BROADDUS, who brought the famed Broaddus colony to Texas from Virginia in 1854 is said to be buried in the Old cemetery at Caldwell, but this can not be confirmed 100%. Some reports have him buried at Carr / Broaddus cemetery, in the country, near Cook's Point, Burleson County. His wife, Jane is buried there. Others speculate he is buried at Salem Cemetery, near the Salem Baptist church, that he started, also in the same area. Judge Broaddus died April 23, 1891. His obituary found in the Galveston newspaper and a funeral notice, owned by a descendant, both state he was buried at Old City Cemetery. A write-up in the county history book also states his burial was at this cemetery. Mr. Broaddus was a lawyer as well as a member of the Legislature. He has many descendants still living in the area.
