He was 32 years of age and a son of Acting Judge Browning. He was also a nephew of Mr. E. E. Lamb, solicitor. Having a liking for the land, he purchased in 1914 from Mossth Young and Ralli a portion of the Milong Estate. Subsequently he enlisted, and served in France where he was badly gassed and was invalided home in 1918. The body was brought to S. John's Church on Thursday night. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning a short service was conducted by the rector (Rev. S. A. T. Champion), after which the coffin covered by a Union Jack, and dozens of floral tokens was conveyed by draped motor lorry to the Church of England cemetery where the last rites of the Church were performed.
