BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
tain, July 26, 1861; Major, December 8, 1864; Lieutenant Colonel, March 16, 1879. These two latter brevet commissions he re- ceived, the one as Major April 24, 1862, and Lieutenant Colonel March 14, 1863. The rank of Lieutenant Colonel was given to him for "gallant and meritorious services at the second battle of Vicksburg and at the battle of Port Hudson," and was a just reward for his conspicuous bravery, not only at the places mentioned, but during the whole of the Civil War. Colonel Broome's history is a part of the history of the nation, and the records of the Navy Department contain ample testimonials to his soldierly devotion to his country.
Lieutenant Colonel John Lloyd Broome was married in Brooklyn, L.I., to Miss Mary Cochran, a native of Londonderry, Ireland. She came to this country when a young girl fourteen years of age, and was educated at the Packer Institute, Brooklyn, L.I. A devoted wife and mother, her death in 1892 was an irreparable loss to her husband and only son.
An excellent Christian woman and a mem- ber of the Presbyterian church, her life was a shining example to her sex; and her many virtues were a sweet testimonial of the beauty of a religious life. Mrs. Broome came of a celebrated family in medical and political life in this country. Iler brothers were John, George, and Alexander Cochran, John having been a leading surgeon of Brooklyn and founder of the City Hospital of that place. Ile died at the early age of thirty years. George, also deceased, was a Brigade Surgeon
with the rank of Colonel, and was prominent in politics and first Health Officer of the city of Brooklyn. Alexander was also a Brigade Surgeon with the rank of Colonel, and is now living in Brooklyn. His three sons are all Majors in the National Guards, one of them Surgeon in the Thirteenth Na- tional Guards State of New York Regiment, and another Senior Major in that Regiment. The accompanying portrait of this heroic sol- dier of two wars will be universally appre- ciated by the readers of this work, not only valuable as an attraction to this sketch, but as a handsome addition to the gallery of fine illustrations presented in this book.
APT. GEORGE COCHRAN BROOME was born in the First Ward, Brook- lyn, N.Y., December 7, 1866, son of Lieutenant Colonel John Lloyd Broome and Mary (Cochran) Broome. His great- grandfather was Lieutenant Colonel John Broome, one of the early Lieutenant Gover- nors of the State of New York; and his grandfather was Captain John Lloyd Broome, a distinguished politician and patriot of New York City, who commanded the regiment that defended Fort Green. The most of his early boyhood days were passed in the marine bar- racks at Charlestown, Miss., while his father was there stationed; and at eighteen years of age he received the appointment of Color' Bearer in the Second Brigade, Massachusetts Militia, Brigadier-General B. F. Peach com- manding, and was honorably discharged at

BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
the age of twenty, September 20, 1887. IIe was commissioned Second Lieutenant of the Thirteenth Regiment, New York Infantry, September 16, 1887, and First Lieutenant of the same regiment, April 30, 1888. October 27, 1890, he received the appointment of Captain of the Thirty-Second Regiment, New York Militia, and in January of 1891 was transferred to the Twelfth Regiment, Na- tional Guards New York. During the Buf- falo riots in August of 1892 he commanded the advance picket. May 3, 1893, he re- ceived a full and honorable discharge from this regiment, and enlisted same day in the Sixth Battery of Artillery of New York, the battery being stationed in this (Broome) County. He was appointed Corporal July 4, 1893, Guidon Sergeant September 2, 1893, which position he still holds ..
Captain Broome has shown since his early manhood the military and political traits for which his ancestors, near and remote, as far back as the fifteenth century, were eminently distinguished. In October, 1891, the nomi- nation of Supervisor for the First Ward of the city of Brooklyn was tendered to him by the Democratie Association of that ward, which was so strongly Republican that no candidate outside of their ranks had been pro- posed for many years. The Republican ean- didate was at the time Supervisor of the ward and a very prominent member of the Grand Army of the Republic. Notwithstanding this powerful opposition, Captain Broome was elected by a safe majority, being the first Democratic Supervisor in the First Ward and
the youngest man ever elected in that body since its organization in 1814. When the great Columbian scandal of 1892 occurred in Brooklyn, Captain Broome used all his energy and influence against it, but to no purpose, and was among the five who were not indicted by the grand jury of Kings County. This is one of the events in his life that he has rea- son to be particularly proud of.
It has recently been said with great truth by one thoroughly conversant with these mat- ters that "membership in a prominent club is a most important element in the life of a New York society or business man." Captain Broome not only ranks high in the Masonic fraternity, but belongs to several prominent clubs and various patriotic, athletic, and other organizations, being captain of the famous Polo Club of Washington, D.C., and easily one of the leading spirits in all. The following are but a few of them: the Sons of Veterans, the Loyal Legion of the United States, Sons of the Revolution, the Saint Nicholas Society, the Huguenot Society of America, Society of Colonial Wars, and the Aztec Society of the Mexican War. He is a welcome presence and a striking figure in the highest social circles of the metropolis and in other cities, his genial and courteous man- ners, combined with his military and aris- tocratie bearing, making him a universal favorite.
The accompanying pleasing portrait of this young man represents the family in the fourth generation from the gentleman for whom Broome County was named.
