If Clara J. Wampler Broadwater passed away in 1903, as stated elsewhere, then her spouse, Archibald Broadwater, remarried before his death. From Archibald's obituary notice we see that his daughter, mentioned in the 1900 US Census, was married to a Chester (Arthur) Green, son of Simon Ward Green and Eliza Ellen Broadwater, by the time of his passing. Herman? Is he the Clinton listed in the household back in 1900 ... or a child from Archibald Broadwater's second marriage? Looking at Archibald Broadwater's 1910 US Census report it appears that Herman is the Clinton mentioned back in 1900. Archibald's second wife's name was Margaret.
Herman Clinton Broadwater appears again in court records relating to the probating of his father's will. A 1930 US Census report shares Herman Broadwater married Amelia Jane Warne and they had five children living in the household. Amelia Warne Broadwater passed away in 1933. Herman Clinton Broadwater also registered for World War I and II's draft. This paper trail has him alive at least until 1942, thereby negates the Clinton Broadwater in Whetzel-Fike Cemetery being him but quite possibly his son who passed away in 1917.
Other information, gleamed from another family tree site, shared Clara's middle name was Jane. It also shared that Meda C. was Media Clementine. However, in Archibald Broadwater's obituary, it is stated he was buried in the Weitzel Cemetery. On FindAgrave's listing of internments, for the Whetzel-Fike Cemetery, he is not listed. However, his daughter-in-law and three of his grandchildren were interred at the cemetery.
Further searching on FindAGrave has Herman Clinton Broadwater living until Aug 22 1960 before he passed away in Baltimore City, Maryland. Herman was buried in Philos Cemetery in Westernport, Allegany County, Maryland.
The memorial page for him also shared that Herman Clinton Broadwater married a second time to Mary Magdalene Clem (1901-1994), the daughter of Jacob and Emma Clem. She was a widow of Carl E. Hershberger )1897-1931). Mary Clem Hershberger Broadwater is also buried in Philos Cemetery.
