The end has been momontarily ex'
pected for several days and her hus'
band and her children were with heI
for the last farewolls. Mrs. Brown
lng's CHEEKY spirit throughout the
long suffering never failed her, She

Pccos valley and reside here with
their families.
For several years Mrs. Browning
has been an invalid and has received
every attention that skin and
thought could give. During the last
years the eldest daughter, Miss Mary,
has devoted herself unsparinglyi to
the sacrifice of her student work at
the university, to the care OF the
mother and has accompanied her ia
various health resorts in the vain
attempt to stay the malady The
efforts proved useless and just be-
fore the holidays Mrs. Browning
was brought back to the home where
she has since remained IN the care
Of her husband and children.

her sisters, Mrs. J, +. Carder Mrs
b. j. Rhodcrick, of Amarillo, Mrs.

brothers that are not now here. Her
step daughter Mrs. Mitte Stevenson
reached here from her far away
home in Durango, Mexico, a short
time ago, and has been here to the
end,
Throughout the long and busy
public life Of Mr.. Browning, Mrs
Brownlng's life has been closely knit
with her husbands, She was one
Of the first women to bring home
life into the great plains country
and her influence has always been
quietly but steadfastly and surely on
the side of the home In the Meth
odigt church, in which she was q
life long worker, she took a leading
part in the affairs that can best be
done by women. She was, up tc
her last illness, the president Of tho
Mothers club and never even in tho
last days, lost her interest in the
welfare Of those about her.
The funeral services will be con
