Peter Broadbooks was born in Alsace, France, (now Germany,) in 1840. He came to America in 1854, settled at
Rome, N. Y., and learned his trade. He remained there about four years, when he came to Attica, working at his
trade three years, and thence removed to Pine Hill (Elba), where he lived for three years. He finally removed to
Batavia, where he has been in business for 12 years as a carriage ironer. He is a mechanical genius, and has invented
shears for cutting iron, a metal punching machine, flippers and pliers, and a tire shrinker, all of which are placed
on royalty. He has been located at 37 and 39 Ellicott street for 10 years, and owns his property. Mr. Broadbooks
has manufactured carriages, but now devotes his time to general repairing, and has succeeded to the business of
the Batavia Iron Co.
