Henry, John and Moses Browning, all old men now. His eld est son was killed In the civil war, being at that time a man upwards of thirty. Though almost unbelieva bly old, there seems to be nothing! that argues against his 115 years. He was until this morning In good health. He was up and astir about the house and later appeared to be come sick. His feebleness from ex treme age be was unable to resist, and so he died In a short time. >fias Simmons Entertains In Honor of Hrr Gue*t. at Country dub.
