Heritage Quest www.fremontlibrary.org (by subscription). Vol. 2. Chapter XXXVII: Biographical pp835-836: Zenophile Pierre Brosseau, commission merchant and a member of the Board of Trade, Chicago, was born at La Prairie, in the province of Quebec, Canada, October 3, 1840, the son of Louis and Marguarite (Ste. Marie) Brosseau, being descended from French ancestors who came to Quebec from Nantes, France, in 1672. He was the fourth son of his father’s family and grew up on a farm which has been the property of the Brosseau family since 1744. La Prairie is one of the oldest towns in Canada, and here Mr. Brosseau received his education in the common and higher schools until he had reached is seventeenth year, when he removed to Malone, New York, where he found employment as a clerk in a general store. In 1860 he came to Woodstock, McHenry County, Ill., whence he removed the following year to Chicago. Here he became associated with Joseph McDonald, in the commission business, in 1862, becoming a member of the Chicago Board of Trade, a relation which he has retained ever since, having served as director of the Board, at the present time being one of its oldest and most honored members. In common with the majority of the leading men of Chicago, Mr. Brosseau was a heavy sufferer by the Chicago Fire of 1871, losing both his residence and business office, but promptly resumed business under the firm name of Brosseau & Company, by which the concern is still known. The firm now occupies quarters at No. 67 Board of Trade Building. Mr. Brosseau’s prominence in connection with public affairs is indicated by the fact that he is now serving his third term as a Director of the Chicago Public Library, is also a member of the Executive Committee of the Chicago Art Institute, and a member and president of the Alliance Francaise, and his office is the headquarters for French Canadians when visiting Chicago. Among social organizations he maintains membership in the Chicago, Iroquois, Washington Park, Chicago Golf, and Glenview Clubs. In politics he is a Democrat and was a founder of the French Democratic Club of Cook County. Although deeply interested in public affairs, he is not a seeker for office. The head of a large and interesting family, Mr. Brosseau still finds time, aside from the cares of business and public affairs, to devote much attention to charitable and philanthropic enterprises and matters of general interest to the city. He occupies one of the most attractive homes on the North Side, located at the corner of Lake Shore Drive and Barry Avenue.

He attended the University of Georgia, studying economics. In WWII he was a member of the Army Air Corps. On a trip to New Mexico, he was introduced to Roberta Martin whose family owned the general store and a ranch in El Rito.

After the war, the Brosseaus bought property on the Rio Chama where they raised cattle and ran a guest ranch. They moved to Santa Fe in the 1950's when Ed became head of the New Mexico Dept. of Motor Vehicles under Governor Ed Mechecm. After several years in government, he went into private business and, with his wife, formed the Pronto Printing Co. During the uranium boom, he was president of Pinon Uranium Co. Later, he bought a gold mine near Durango, CO. Brosseau invented the JEB Rod, which he had manufactured in Chicago. In 1966, semi-retired, he became chairman of St. Vincent Hospital's development board. In his 70's, he took up cutting horse competition. He traded cattle from a ranch near Clayton.
