New information on Broadus Connell!
I was playing around with search parameters in FamilySearch, and I found a new record for Broadus Connell! The new record I found for Broadus is his WWI draft card:
You can see his signatureat the bottom of side one. His handwriting wasn't that great, but I think it's awesome that I have seen something written by his own hand! Other important information here is that he was living in Camden, but was born in Lancaster, SC. This is the first record I've seen with his date of birth on it, too (March 31, 1891). There's also a (short) physical description of him! He was "stout" with blue eyes and dark brown hair. From the picture we have of him, you didn't have to have much extra padding to be considered "stout!"
