From the Waxahachie Enterprise: Obit for James L Browning
James Browning, 55, breathed his last this morning at 10:15 at the home of Col. R. A. Davis. His death was not a surprise as he had been in feeble health for some time. Physicians think he received internal injuries from a fall he had last winter. He was born in Sumpter County, Tenn. Dec. 30, 1839 and enlisted in the 5th Company Battallion Washington Artillery, CSA, being in many battles and engagements including Shiloh, Monterey, Murfreesboro, Stone River, Chickmauga, Missionary Ridge, Atlanta, Pine Mountain and Jonesboro. He came to this state in 1866, and in 1868 married Miss Fidellia Davis, daughter of Col. R. A. Davis. Mrs. Browning died in April, 1880, and since then he and his children have made their home with Col. Davis. Mr. Browning has held many responsible positions of trust and always discharged his duties well. At the time of his death he was bookkeeper at the oil mill. He leaves four grown children to mourn his death. [Funeral services held at home of Col. Davis, Waxahachie, Texas, July 18, 1894]
