Roanoke Leader
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.

Hope cemetery.
