I see that Amelia remarried after Henry died and she is a widow by the 1900 census.

Amelia is listed on the Browning site since she died in 1920, but Henry died prior to the
date that they began keeping death records consistently (1882) If you do not live in
Evansville area, you might find a volunteer from
www.raogk.org (Random Acts of
Genealogical Kindness) to see if they can find any info at Willard Library. They only
charge for copying/mailing costs. The newspaper is another source, but harder to research
unless they have put that info in a searchable format. Widows/widowers usually didn't
wait too long before remarrying so Henry likely died closer to 1880 that 1877.

Since Henry came from Germany, I would think it likely that he was buried in either the
Lutheran Cemetery or a Catholic cemetery in Vanderburgh Co. That might be a good starting
point.
