James Brodie's birth date is from the 1901 Census of Canada.
He was born in Kincardinshire and moved with his father to Fifeshire, Scotland at the age of 12. By the age of twenty he had travelled to Dutch Guiana where he contracted malaria, recovered, checked out the mines of the interior and then worked as a sailor to get to Boston. A brother living in Virginia was his next stop but the family tradition of farming didn't appeal. He went on to study medicine at the University of Otago in New Zealand. Finishing his training in Edinburgh, Scotland, he practiced medicine in England for a few years. From there he took a position in the Carpathian Mountains of Hungary, Upon his return to England he married Miss C. Cunningham. They had three children born in London and one in Michel, B.C. While working in the Crows Nest Pass he contracted malarial typhoid. He recovered after a stay at the St. Eugene Hospital and then stayed the winter in Fort Steele working with Dr. Hugh Watt. In better health, he went to the Michel Coal mining camp to aid the sick and injured. However, his health failed again. After a brief stint working at Moyie, the Morrissey mining camps and McLeod he returned to Fort Steele where he died.
