Deceased is survived by his wife and son Delmer, his parents, Mr. And Mrs. A. R. Browning and two brothers, Clifford and Ralph. Wes Browning, as he was familiarly called by everyone in the community, was one of the most popular, well liked and respected of the young farmers of this part of the county. Born and raised on a farm a few miles southeast of Brownsdale, he grew to manhood here, getting . . . . tion in the . . . . . . his home a . . . pleting his s . . . . turned to h . . . . . which h . . . . . family . . . . . . . . . and . . . . . the crops and became well established. He was joined in marriage to Miss Mabel Barrick on April 17, 1921 and their five years of wedded life have been unusually happy. One son, Delmer, was born to them. A promising career has been cut short in this tragic death by the will of a Devine Providence that rules all mankind. It would seem that there are many who could be spared from this sphere of life, with less regret and less heartache, but it is not for mortal man to pass judgment. An Omniscient Father has a plan for each and every one of us and we can only bow our heads and say, "Thy Will be done." A sorrow that only the healing hand of Time can ease, falls upon those near and dear to him. Many words of comfort and sympathy have been poured out to the bereaved. The entire community joins in extending sincere sympathy to the wife and son, father and mother and brothers, and this sympathy was silently expressed in the wealth of floral offerings at the funeral and the presence of hundreds of sorrowing friends. The funeral procession exteded for over a mile as the last tribute was paid to the departed, in the solemn march to his final resting place. Card of Thanks. We desire to extend our heartfelt thanks to the many kind friends for the sympathy and aid in our recent bereavement. We are grateful to the singers and to all who sent beautiful flowers. Mrs. Wesley Browning and son Delmer. Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Browning and family.
