A.C. WOMAN
DIES AS TRAIN
STRIKES CAR
Young Mother Victim
Of Crossing Crash
North of City
Mrs. Dollie Marie Browning,
18, was killed late Thursday
afternoon when the car she
was driving was struck by
the southbound Santa Fe
Ranger at a little-used crossing
about a half mile north of Kansas
avenue.
Mrs. Browning was the wife of
Glenn Browning, construction
worker for Harrison-Frecto-Kaw
at Strother Field. She also is
survived by a seven weeks' old
son, Buddle Ray.
The family dog, which was riding
the car, was fatally injured in the
crash and died about a half hour
later.
Mrs. Browning is believed to have
been killed almost instantly by the
tremendous impact, which
demolished the 1941 Chevrolet
coupe and hurled parts over a wide
area around the tracks. One wheel
was found in a wheat field about
200 yards from the crossing. Fenders
and other pieces were strewn along
the right-of-way.
Car Pitched Into Air
The Brownings came here last July
from Pittsburg, Kas. They lived in the
Bays tourist cabins just north of the
city on Highway 77. The baby, who
was born Dec. 18, has been cared for
at Mercy hospital and was taken from
an incubator only a few days ago.
Mrs. Browning was driving west when
the accident occurred, about 4:15 p.m.
Trainmen told investigating officers the
car was pitched into the air and appeared
to explode, with parts, a baby buggy and
clothing flying in all directions.
Closest witness to the accident was 7-year-old
Lavon White, who was watching the train from
a window of her home near the crossing.
Just before the crash she called to her mother.
"That woman is going to get hit," she said.

Dollie Marie Browning was born Lottie Nancy Johns to Henry Franklin Johns & Mary P (Motto) Richardson. She was later adopted by her maternal grandmother Mary (Eand) Motto-Milano, after her parents had divorced, and her name was then changed to Dollie Marie Milano by her maternal grandmother.
She was my aunt, she was my grandfather's oldest daughter. I never got the opportunity to ever meet her, but I made this memorial in her memory and honor.
