Roanoke Leader
Dec. 13. Last Saturday night death claimed one of the oldest citizens of 
Randolph County, Mr. T. N. Browning. He was born Aug. 12, 1840, thus making him 
92 years, three months and 29 days old. He served all through the War Between 
the States, and he has insisted that the present depression is nothing compared 
to the hard times during that war and the dark days of reconstruction that 
followed it. In his younger days, Uncle Newt was considered one of the hardest 
workers in the county. He established what is known as Browning's ferry and 
operated it for several years. He once owned nearly all the land from this ferry 
to New Hope West. Mr. Browning was twice married, his first wife dying about 20 
years ago, and he married again about two years later. Three children were born 
to the latter marriage, two of whom are still living. He joined the Baptist 
church in early childhood and was always a faithful and active member. He was 
also a member of the Masonic order. He had moved to Cragford Wednesday before 
his death. The funeral service was conducted Sunday afternoon at New Hope West, 
by Rev. Warner Wilborn, with Masonic ceremonies.
