Death of Robert L. Browder---At 7:50 p.m., April 16, 1908, Robert L. Browder died after a lingering illness of several months duration. Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church Saturday, conducted by Rev. J.L. Bachman, assisted by Rev. S.S. Boyer, of Riceville, Tenn., after which his remains were laid in their final resting place in West View Cemetery.
Robert L. Browder was born at the old Browder homestead on Pond Creek, July 27, 1874, and was the youngest son of the late James M. Browder by his first marriage. He leaves a step-mother, Mrs. Lizzie A. Browder, four brothers and four sisters: James P. and Clyde A., of Chattanooga; John J., of Oakesdale, Wash.; Horace L., of this city, and Mrs. J.N. Heiskell; Mrs. W.K. Horton and Miss Zelma Lee Browder of Sweetwater, and Mrs. A.A. Green of Boyd, Texas. In the death of Robert L. Browder, Monroe County loses a good citizen, Sweetwater an exemplary young man and the church a devoted, faithful, consistent and useful member. Though afflicted from childhood to a degree that would have made most men an invalid and a burden to others, he was industrious and energetic, and he labored at such work as his condition would permit, and did not only sustain himself, but through his industry and economy accumulated some property, where but few under like circumstances would have been a burden to friends and relatives. Generous, noble-hearted, honest---yes, truly can the sculptor carve on his monument, "Here lies an honest man."
