Deceased, who was greatly attached to him, was present at his death, and she came with the body to London for the burial in Westminster Abbey. Her feeling for the poet is shown in a little book entitled "Some Memories of Robert Browning" which she wrote and had published in Boston in 1928. Mrs. Browning's husband died in 1912. When the Great War broke out she went back to Washington, where she lived until after the war. She then returned to England and came to live in Sussex, where she had relatives.

From Friday until yesterday (Monday), the coffin of plain oak rested in the private chapel at Anchorhold. Here the Rev. P. T. Browning, Vicar of St. Martin's, Brighton (a distant relative of the poet), said a Requiem Mass yesterday morning. Later, a service in Cuckfield Parish Church was followed by the interment in the adjoining churchyard. Members of the staff at Anchorhold (Messrs. C. Holman and H. Chapman) were responsible for beautifully lining the grave with greenery and white and yellow chrysanthemums. The officiating clergyman was the Rev. Canon C. W. G. Wilson (Vicar of Cockfield), the Rev. Prebendary J. A. W. Bell (Vicar of St. Wilfred's, Haywards Heath) and the Rev. P. T. Browning.
