Norfolk Virginian June 13, 1882
Mr. Roscoe Henry Browne, eldest son of Mr. Thomas H. B. Browne of Sewell’s 
Point, and a brother of Mr. Wm. B. Browne of the firm of B. F. Baxter & Co., of 
this city, died at his father’s residence on Sunday last of consumption, 
contracted during the late war. Mr. Browne was a native of Norfolk county and in 
the 41st year of his age. Prior to the war, he was engaged in mercantile 
pursuits in Norfolk and was for some time connected with the firm of Rowland & 
Reynolds. During the war, he served with credit in the 15th Virginia Cavalry as 
sergeant of Company F, and received a wound at Spotsylvania Courthouse, at which 
time were sown the seeds of the malady which caused his untimely end.
Of late years, the deceased had been in business at Forth Worth, Texas. He left 
that place about the middle of last month to return to his native State in 
expectation of recruiting his strength, a hope which was destined to be 
blighted. Mr. Browne was in the prime of life, and, being endowed with a 
cultivated mind, fine presence and genial address, was a general favorite in 
business and social circles and among his many friends. His funeral will take 
place at 11 a.m. today from the residence of his father and the interment will 
take place in Elmwood Cemetery.
