His obituary:

Anderson Intelligencer, June 20 1894. Dr. Oze Robert Broyles, formerly a citizen of Anderson, died at his home in Washington County, East Tennessee, on Wed. 6th inst., in the 57th year of his age. He had been confined to his bed for a long time with a lingering illness, and on the 5th inst., he was attacked with paralysis, which caused his death. Dr. Broyles graduated from the University of Virginia, and was attending medical lectures at a College in the city of New York at the time of the secession, when he came home and finished his course of lectures at the Medical College in the city of Charleston. He entered the Confederate service in the late Col. John V. Moore's Battalion. He served with Gen. Lee's army in Virginia and Maryland from the time he entered the service until the close of the war, and was with Gen. Lee at the time of the surrender at Appomattox. He practiced medicine in Anderson a few years after the war, and then moved to a plantation left him by his mother in Chuckey Valley, Washington County, East Tennessee. He married Miss Ella Keith, a daughter of Rev. R.T. Keith, who was a well-known Episcopal minister in the lower section of this State. His wife and four children are left to mourn his death, and in their bereavement they have the sympathies of many friends in Anderson. The deceased's old friends and war comrades in this section will regret to hear of his death.
