Biography

[edit]

In the words of Herbert Asbury, "There exists a vast literature about him, but for the most part it is a worthless mass of fulsome panegyric." I've added some less complimentary sources, mostly taken from [1]. Jpatokal (talk) 07:02, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Burial Site

[edit]

This article says that he is buried under his monument but I have a friend who lives in Colma, CA who says that his tombstone (and body?) are located there. Does anyone have any sources pertaining to this? Badums (talk) 18:51, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Gateway to the Peninsula p. 18-19, Images of America - Daly City, and sfMuseum.org have nothing. This book from 1911, or this journal article or this book might have something but I'm not sure. Does your friend have any idea what cemetery in Colma Broderick is supposed to be buried at? -Optigan13 (talk) 00:00, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Bodies from Lone Mountain Cemetery were exhumed and relocated to Colma. So it's entirely consistent that he could have been buried at Lone Mountain, but reburied in Colma.--Larrybob (talk) 01:35, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
