WAR VETERAN DROWNS IN COTTONWOOD RIVER
FLOYD C. BROWNING
Floyd C. Browning, who lived in Emporia, died Monday in the Cottonwood river a quarter of a mile from the Lockerman bridge southwest of Emporia. He had been fishing from the south bank and it is believed that he suffered an attack, to which he had been subjected as the result of a World War injury, and fell into the river. His fishing companions, Rev. Gerald Meissler and Fred Brier, were farther down the river when they heard the splashes and returned to the place where Browning had been fishing. The water was deep and they could not locate the man. Brier made a telephone call that brought firemen, highway patrolmen and boats to the rescue. The body was recovered in about 20 minutes and a pull motor was used in an attempt to resuscitate the man, but without success. Mr. Browning was subject to frequent attacks caused by a shrapnel wound in the head. He leaves a wife, two sons, a daughter, and his parents. Funeral services were held at Emporia Tuesday.
