"The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Browning sorrowed with them, last Friday morning, when the news reached this village of the death at Aiken, S. C., of their eldest and only surviving son, John Prentiss Browning. Quick consumption was the fatal disease, and it ran its course in a little less than one year. Mr. Browning was born in this village 33 years ago. He prepared for college under Dr. John G. Wight, graduated from Princeton in 1889 and later from the New York Law School. His clerkship days were spent in the office of the Hon Stewart L. Woodford. Soon after he was admitted to the bar and began practice for himself. He was appointed a clerk in Judge Bookstaver's court, a position which he held until forced to relinquish it by failing health. In 1893 he was married to Miss Elizabeth Work Olcott of New York, who survives him. He was a member of the Presbyterian church of this village, and a young man of excellent habits and upright character. The sympathy of the community goes to the bereaved wife and to the sorrowing mother, father and sister ... The remains were laid at rest in Lakewood Cemetery beside those of four generations of the family." ["The Otsego Farmer" (Cooperstown, NY), Mar. 14, 1902, p. 5]
