SATURDAY - Was member of Pioneer Columbus Family; Body to Arrive From Los Angeles, Thursday The funeral of William F. Browner, of Omaha, member of a pioneer Columbus family, who died of pneumonia at 10 a.m. Friday in Los Angeles, Calif., will be held at 9 a.m. Saturday at St. Bonaventure’s church. Rev. Fr. Salvator, pastor, will officiate at the requiem mass and burial will be made in the parish cemetery. The body will arrive at 6:10 p.m. Thursday on Union Pacific train No. 8, and will be taken to the Gass Funeral home where it will lie in state until 3 p.m. Friday when it will be removed to the J.M. Curry home, 1922 Fifteenth street. Mrs. Albert H. Gehner, sister of Mr. Browner, and Mrs. D.A. McDonald, both of St. Louis, Mo., who went to Los Angeles when informed of Mr. Browner’s illness, will accompany the body here. Though it had been known that Mr. Browner had been afflicted with a heart malady since suffering a severe attack of influenza about two and a half years ago, word of his death came as a distinct shock to relatives and friends here. He left Omaha in June on an extended trip to Denver and through the Pacific northwest that terminated in Los Angeles in August, and according to word received here within the last few weeks was enjoying comparatively good health at that time. Born in Columbus, he was a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Browner, pioneers of Columbus. His father was among the earliest settlers to locate here, coming here in 1856. In childhood, William moved with his parents to the Browner farm two and a half miles northeast of the city, where he grew to manhood. He received his early education in the Columbus schools and later attended Fremont normal at Fremont. For several years he was associated with his brother, James C. Browner in farming and stock raising. During this time he became interested in thoroughbred horses, and in 1906, he and his brother rented their farm and moved into Columbus and started the Browner Livery Co. In 1915 they dissolved partnership, J.C. Browner becoming sole owner of the business. The following few years he spent in southern Texas and California, returning to Columbus in 1918 to operate a poultry farm on the Browner island, northwest of the city. A year later he moved to Albion where he became associated with Dr. Matt Score, in the veterinarian business. In the spring of 1930 he was forced to retire from active work on account of impaired health, and moved to Omaha. That fall he went to St. Louis, where he received medical treatment at a hospital for several months, returning to Omaha again last May. A man of pleasing personality and disposition he was always kind and charitable, and was an ardent lover of nature and sports. He is survived by two sisters and a brother-–Mrs. Gehner of St. Louis, Mo., Mrs. Katherine Drinnin and James C. Browner, and a half brother, John M. Curry, all of Columbus.
