Miss Sallie Fitzhugh was born in the Fitzhugh Mills Community, about six miles southwest of McKinney, being a daughter of Robert Fitzhugh, who died when she was a little girl, and Katie Warden Fitzhugh. She was largely reared and educated in McKinney where she became, after reaching beautiful young womanhood, the bride of Eugene Browning. Her entire married life was spent at the Browning home, where she resided at the time of her death. The Fitzhugh family settled in this section in the later years of the Texas Republic. Its members have been numerous and prominent in Texas affairs and especially in this county for more than three-quarters of a century. The deceased was a lady of lovable character, cultured in mind and heart, who radiated love and hospitality of the Old Southern queenly type in its graciousness and unaffected warmth, and cordiality in her home and among her neighbors and friends and in every circle in which she moved. Her sympathy was always manifested for those in trouble or need of a comforting word or a helping hand., She was a life-long member of the Methodist Church. She was a devoted daughter, sister, wife and mother and a friend beloved by every acquaintance. Her life was an inspiration to many and her memory will be cherished in an abiding way in the hearts of loved ones and her wide circle of neighbors and friends who came within the sphere of her gracious influence.
These editors join the hose of other McKinney friends in extending condolence to her sisters, Mesdames Newsome and Beverly, and to the grief-stricken husband, and daughters and other relatives in the passing of their dear one.
