Isaac H. Bromley

In 1855 he edited a weekly newspaper, The State Guard in Norwich, where he married, on December 25, Miss Adelaide E. Roath.

In the meantime, in June 1873, he was appointed by President Arthur as one of the Government Directors of the Union Pacific Railroad.

After a series of brief editorial engagement with the Commercial Adventurer and the Evening Telegram of New York, and the Rochester Post-Express, he became in 1884 Assistant to the President of the Union Pacific Railroad, and held that office until 1889.

In October 1891, he resumed editorial work on the New York Tribune, and continued in active service until a few months before his death.

[1] His Yale University obituary describes him thus: "A trenchant writer, gifted with a style of unusual brilliancy and unique in its quality of wit, he ranked easily among the leaders of his profession in his generation and was as warmly beloved as he was admired.
