I don't think Browning has many records back to 1910. Willard Library at
Evansville has all the old newspapers and would probably do a search for
you, or refer you to someone. Since it happened in Aug of 1910, it
shouldn't really take too long. Helen Zuber Keusch

J Krug,
I looked in the Browning obits and local history search
http://browning.evpl.org/ and didn't find anything. I this contacting
Williard Library, part of the Evansville Public Library system, is your
best bet.
They do have some other history info at
http://www.willard.lib.in.us/.
