Research Notes:
Obituary appeared in Salina Journal: Mourn For Chief
Fred Brodbeck's Life Ebbed Out Saturday
Injured In Call to Duty
Amputation of his leg failed to save his life as was hoped.
The Salina fire station is draped in mourning. Crepe hangs upon either side of the entrance and while the big red automobile truck still responds to fire alarms and the firemen answers the call to duty, the truck in draped in mourning, a silent testimony to the service of the former leader. Fire Chief Brodbeck will respond to no more alarms to save the lives and property of the citizens of Salina.
Fire Chief Brodbeck died at 5:00 o'clock Saturday evening from the results of the accident last Monday when the car in which he was rushing to a fire was driven to destruction in fruitless effort to avoid striking a buggy, which had driven in the road. An attempt was made to save his life Saturday by the amputation of his leg which was crushed in the accident but the chief failed to rally after the operation and remained very weak until his death a few hours later. His highly nervous temperament and weak bodily condition probably contributed also to the effects of the accident.
Today the body is at home on East Ash street but tomorrow morning at 10:00 o'clock it will be removed to the council chambers in city hall where it will lie in state until 2:30 o'clock the funeral services will be conducted in the council chambers by the Right Reverend Bishop Sheldon M. Griswold of the Episcopal Church. The internment in Gypsum Hill Cemetery will follow.
The following list of ex-councilmen, many who were members at the time Chief Brodbeck was made head of the Salina Fire Department, have been selected to act as voluntary pallbearers: T. B. Valette, T.P. Quinn, H.C. Elliott, Frank Wyatt, C.A. Hame, and D.W. Hills. The active pallbearers will be selected from the volunteer firemen of the city and the regular firemen with the big truck will accompany the procession to the cemetery as far as it is thought best for them to leave the station in case of fire alarms.
Fred Brodbeck was born in Rome, Illinois May 4, 1873 but spent the larger part of his younger days at Peoria where his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Brodbeck and other relatives still reside. Twenty-one years ago, at the age of 18 he first entered on to the work as a fireman and continued so until his death. Twelve years of his service was spent at Peoria, and two years at Chicago as a regular fireman and for two years he was Chief of the department at Marseilles, Illinois. In April 19099 he came to Salina where he has since had charge of the fire department and has succeeded in building it up to such a point that it was a model for the entire state.
Chief Brodbeck was married at Peoria, Illinois seventeen years ago, and besides his wife, he leaves three small daughters, Mercedes, Mildred, and Mary. Besides his parents, he leaves four brothers in Peoria, while three brothers live elsewhere. His twin brother, Edward Brodbeck of Peoria was not able to be here for the funeral, but H.P. Brodbeck another brother is here as well as Mr. and Mrs. J.P. Tracy of Averyville, Illinois. Mrs Tracy is Mrs Brodbeck's sister, her husband is mayor of Averyville. Mrs Leonard Sheppler of Peoria and Mrs. S.H. Paxton of Grand Rapids, Michigan, both sisters of Mrs. Brodbeck were not able here on account of sickness.
Fire chief Brodbeck was a friend of practically every man in Salina who had the honor of his acquaintance. His devotion to duty and his work for the best interests of the city and his protection of lives and property of the citizens had won him the respect of all and it is remembered that he lost his life while answering a call of duty. His sense of duty and a short time after the accident he said to a friend, "A fireman's duty is to protect the life and property of other people. When I saw at the bridge that a collision was inevitable, I told the driver to turn to the right. Had it not been for the stone and gravel on the street we would have missed the railing that we struck. [Ref: Ray Brodbeck 7/29/2008]
