James Brodhead, 92, Helped Build U.P.
Flemington's Oldest Resident Worked on Railroad as a Boy
Special to the New York Times

Flemington, NJ, Nov. 10 — James E. Brodhead, Flemington's oldest resident, died this morning in his home at age 92. He began his career in a construction camp of the Union Pacific Railroad in 1867, two years before that line, the first transcontinental system, was opened to the Coast. He continued in that field until 1879, when he entered business for himself as a wholesale dealer in heavy lumber and railroad cross-ties, retiring in 1911.

For thirty years, Mr. Brodhead was a member of the Maritime Exchange in New York and served on its board of arbitration, and for a similar period he was vice president of the Trenton Potteries Company. He was formerly president of the Prospect Hill Cemetery Association here.

Before the incorporation of the borough, in 1910, Mr. Brodhead served as a village trustee. When the high school was erected in 1915 he was a member of the Board of Education and donated the kitchen equipment for the home economics department. Mr. Brodhead was born in Bushkill, Pike Co., Pa., and was a son of the late Andrew Jackson Brodhead and Mrs. Ophelia Easton Brodhead.

On May 1, 1877, he married Harriet Lochlin Boyd who died in 1935. They had four sons, Frederick Moon Brodhead of Manchester, Mass., Nathaniel Boyd of Stamford, Conn., Walter Easton Brodhead who died this year, and Romeyn Brodhead, who died in 1936.
