Message Board Post:
I am looking for a Phyllis Browning, her married name was Robinson, who is the daughter of
Jess Browning and Hallie Frakes Browning. I've been told that she lives in Rising Sun.
She was born in West Virginia (most likely High Coal where her father was a miner with
Anchor Coal) around 1928 or 1929. Her mother died of rhuematic fever in January of 1930.
Her father died in 1979. Both are buried at River View Cemetery along with her uncle
Madison Frakes. It's my understanding Jess left High Coal around 1938 and went to
Cincinatti to drive a beer truck. Phyllis and her older sister Opal did not accompany him
but lived in Dearborn County with their Frakes family members. My dad was born to Jesse
Browning and Olive Camp in December of 1931. Phyllis would be his half sister.
