Miss Dorothea Digges Brownley, 88, a resident of Norfolk since 1881, died 
yesterday at 5:30 a.m. at the home of her nieces, Mrs. Lynda Trower Bailey 
and Miss Eva Trower, 4102 Newport Avenue.  Her death followed an illness of

Miss Brownley, a descendant of one of Virginia's oldest families, was the

Brownley, of Mathews County.
The youngest of six children, she was the last surviving member of the 
family.  Her ancestor, Archibald Bromley, settled in Mathew's County in 
1678. The Rev. William Brownley, her father, was County Commissioner of 
Revenue and a minister in the Methodist Church.
She was a charter member of the First Methodist Church, having joined the 
old Cumberland Street Methodist Church in 1882.  For the past 10 years she 
has been living with her nieces.
Surviving are four other nieces, Mrs. Paul Richardson, of Park Hill Estates, 
Md.; Mrs. W. O. Breeden, Mrs. Wharton H. Holland and Mrs. Howard Benton, all 
of Norfolk; two nephews, Wilbur T. Brownley and John M. Brownley, of 
Norfolk; six great-nieces and five great-nephews.
Funeral services will be conducted by the Rev. Henry A. Harrell, pastor of 
the First Methodist Church, at the Cox Funeral Home tomorrow at 4 p.m.  
Burial will be in Elmwood Cemetery.
