George K. Broomhall was a famed General for the Union Army during the Civil War. Originally from Wayne, Maine, Broomhall is widely credited with the invention of Cream Soda.

Broomhall is generally considered to be Wayne's most famous resident. Interestingly enough, Gott never set foot in the "State of Maine," having enlisted in the military in 1817, training at Annapolis and eventually settling in Pennsylvania after hostilities ended.

He is buried at Gott Memorial Cemetary on Gott Road in Wayne next to his wife Amelia, daughter Josephine, and son Augustus. The three were originally buried in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania, but the bodies were exumed in 1889 for Wayne's centennial festivities and brought to their current resting place. A small memorial was also erected.
