Bronaugh - There was sadness depicted on every countenance when the word passed around that good old Dr. Bronaugh was dead, for few men were ever more generally beloved than he. Everybody loved him for his gentleness and kindly manner. He made each of his patients' cases apparently an individual and personal concern and was so tender and sympathizing in his attentions. Monday he went and came as usual, visited several patients and was seemingly in his usual good health. That night after a hearty supper and reading his Bible, as was his custom, he laid down, saying he felt a little tired. This was a little after 9 o'clock. His wife and niece, Miss Minnie Munday, were in his room, and when in a few minutes after he got in bed, he gave too short snores. Miss Munday laughingly said, as he had done so often before, "You can't fool us. We know you are not asleep so soon." Mrs. Bronaugh went to the bed immediately and was astounded to find that her husband of nearly 50 years was dead, death the doctors say having resulted from heart disease, with which he had been affected for years.
Dr. Bronaugh was born in Jessamine county, near Nicholasville, Sep. 24, 1821, and graduated in medicine at the Transylvania University in March, 1843. Until 1851 he practiced his profession in his native county and then in Madison till the close of the war. March 25, 1851, he married Miss Mary E. Munday, of the latter county, who lives to mourn the loss of a loving and true husband. She bore him three children, R. H. Bronaugh being the only survivor, William dying in infancy, and Miss Annie, a lovely and beautiful girl, about 20 years ago. Just after the war, the doctor moved with his family to Crab Orchard, where he lived till 1874, when he came here and has since been of one of our best citizens. A member of the Christian church his place in the sanctuary was rarely vacant. He not only professed, but preached religion and his precepts and example will live long after his body has turned to dust. God and man say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." After a largely attended funeral discourse at the Christian church by Rev. F. W. Allee, the Odd Fellows, of which order he had long been a faithful member, took charge of the remains and consigned them to the tomb in the rapidly growing city on the hill.
