THOMAS BROWNING

Death Resulted
Accident to Popular Railroad Conductor Proved Fatal
Capt. Thomas Browning, the L & N freight conductor who had one of his feet badly crushed by the cars in the yards here about two weeks ago died Saturday night at his home in Earlington. Shortley after the accident Capt. Browning was taken to Earlington and it was then thought that amputation of the member would probably not be necessary. The wound grew worse, however, and on last Friday the leg was taken off just below the knee. Blood poisoning had set up and death followed in about twenty four hours after the operation. Capt. Browning was about 45 years old and leaves a wife and two daughters. He had been in the service of the L & N for a number of years and was one of the company's most valued employes.
