Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I whānau ia ki Franklin, Huntingdon County, Canada East i te tau 1845, te tama a ngā manene o Ireland. I whakaakona ia i nga whare wananga i Huntingdon me Malone, New York. I mahi a Broder i roto i te hōia i te wā o ngā whakaekenga Fenian
He aha? I noho ia ki West Winchester, Ontario i te tau 1868 ka tiimata tana pakihi hei kaihokohoko. Ko tana pōtitanga i te tau 1875 i āpitihia, engari i kōwhiria anō ia i te pōtitanga ā-waenganui i whai ake, ā, i māngai ia i a Dundas i te runanga ā-rohe mō ngā tau tekau mā tahi. I mahi a Broder hei kaihoko tikanga i Morrisburg mai i te 1892 ki te 1896, ka whakarere i tenei pou ki te whakataetae mo te nohoanga i te Whare o nga Kawanatanga. I marenatia ia ki a Caroline Summers a ko tana tama a Fred i muri mai ka riro hei kaikohi tikanga i Morrisburg.
