Like many of the most enterprising citizens of this locality, he was a native of Germany, born in Osofeldt on March 31, 1846. He was the son of Fred and Louisa (Ostermeier) Broer, who lived and died in Germany. There were six sons in their family, three of whom came to America: Louie, who lives near Hubbard, Iowa; Herman, of Cleveland, Ohio, and Henry, of this review. Henry Broer was educated in Germany and grew to maturity there, emigrating to America in 1874, located in Mt. Clemens, Michigan, where he remained six years, working on a farm in order to get a start. He later returned to Germany for a time. In February, 1881, he was united in marriage with Louisa Buschmeyer, who was born in Gohfeld, Hereford, Germany, the daughter of William and Minnie (Schurman) Buschmeyer, the mother a native of Gohfeld and the father of Exter, Germany. They came to America in 1883, locating first in Michigan, later coming to Sherman township, Hardin county, Iowa, and then went to Fairfax, South Dakota, where they spent the remainder of their lives, though the mother's death occurred at the home of the subject and wife. The father was a carpenter by trade and a very skilled workman. They were the parents of children as follows: William and Minnie are both deceased; Fred is in Oklahoma; Henry is in Fairfax, South Dakota; Louisa, wife of Mr. Broer of this review. Seven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Broer, named as follows: Minnie, who married Henry Herbst, lives in Oklahoma; Louie, Henry, Lena, Clara (deceased), Willie and Fred are at home. In 1882 Mr. Broer and wife located in Sherman township, this county, when the country road about was all wild and as a rule unimproved. They first secured eighty acres of raw land, to which they added eighty more, which they developed into a good farm and home in due course of time, and this is still the family residence. They began life here with but little means, put up a rude frame house and, working hard and managing to god advantage, soon were very comfortably established. Mr. Broer was a republican and a member of the Lutheran church at Hubbard. The death of this splendid citizen occurred on February 21, 1903. His widow and children continue to operate the place in a successful manner.
