Browning, aged 99, Can- ada's oldest pratising physician and one of the world's first telegeaphers, died in Exeter on Sunday following an illness of less than a week. Dr, Browning, who had practised there for 74 years, was available for con- sultation at his office up until last Tuesday when he was strieken. He started his medical practece in Exeter three days after Confed- eration in. 1867. No other physician in Canada could claim such a long term of continuous practice. In later years, lis son, Percy) a ideal ,gfruggits ha( wheeled his father to work in the morning and returned, him home in the evening. Before entering the med- teal profession. Dr. Browning master - ltd the telegraph key in the 1850's shortly after Samuel Morse startled the world with his invention . • He was born in the Glastonbury dis- trict of Somersetshiee, Eng, in 1842' but came to Canada with his family at the age of two, He spent his boy. hood days in Markhain and received his public school echecation there. When he was only 11 years old he persuaded his . sister:, the telegraph operator at Markham to teach hint the art. Secretly he learned the alphabet and became a proficient telegrapher. Eventually he relieved his sister of the post, He never lost sight ,of his ambition to be a doctor, however and forsook telegraphy for medical school, Following his' graduatoin, he prac- ticed in HaY• Township for two years before moving to Exeter. Surviving are three sons Dr. Harry Browning, of London, Percy, of Ex- eter, and Earl of Kitchener; and three daughters, Mrs. G. A. Hawkins, of Exeter, Mrs; 0. H. Becker, of New Hamburg, and Mrs. Mahaffie of Red Deer, Alberta. Two grandsons are serving with Canada's armed forces overseas.

And a feeling of elation, When the crew's aware a duty has been done. Over 'hostile ground they're wing- ing, But their hearts are plainly singing, Though the ack-ack shells are flying', Through the air. For in conflict now they glory, But they're modest when a story Is unfolded of their heroism rare, These young gods of streamline flying, Who .of Hie are seIf-denying. Are enshrined in every heart Where free men dwell. Full of gallantry and daring All combined in peril -sharing — Their impeeishable deeds the world shall tell, William 1VIeClure.
