In the death of Mrs. D. Broers, which occurred last Sunday, Gonzales looses one of its oldest inhabitants. She came to Texas with her husband in 1849 when the state was a howling wilderness with Indians roaming the plains and located about one miles east of Gonzales, where she lived up to her death. In the loss of old citizens it is like departing with the early history of the state, so interwoven were their trials and hardships with its early history. The Inquirer extends its sympathy to the relatives who mourn the loss of a relatives.
