Early life, education and marriage
Case Broderick was born in 1839 near Marion, Indiana, a son of Samuel Broderick and Mary (Snider or Snyder) Broderick.[1] Broderick attended the common schools in Indiana.[1] He was a cousin of David Colbreth Broderick, of Washington, DC; New York, and California; and Andrew Kennedy of California, who also became national politicians.
He moved at age 19 to Holton, Kansas, in 1858, engaging in agricultural pursuits.[1] Case Broderick married Mary Ann Ewbank on August 23, 1860 in Jackson County, Kansas Territory.[2] Mary was born in Dearborn County in Southeast Indiana, May 12, 1831, and died November 13, 1888.[3]
During the Civil War, Broderick enlisted as a private in the Kansas 2nd Light Artillery Battery 27 May 1863 and was mustered out at Leavenworth 11 August 1865.[4]
On March 18, 1884, Brocerick was nominated by President Chester A. Arthur to be Associate Justice of the Idaho Territorial Supreme Court, and he was confirmed by the senate six days later,[5] and he moved to Boise, Idaho Territory. After his four year term had expired, he served until his successor arrived on August 10, 1888, and several days later, he returned to Holton, Kansas, and resumed the practice of law.[6]
Broderick was elected as a Republican to the fifty-second and three succeeding congresses, serving from March 4, 1891 to March 3, 1899. He was an unsuccessful candidate for renomination in 1898.
