Daniel M. BROWNING
Daniel M. BROWNING, Past Grand Master of Masons, of Illinois,
was born in Benton, where he now resides, onOctober 11, 1846.
He was married in 1868 to Tirzah Bell NAYOR, of Cincinnati.
They have three children. Our subject is the son of William R.
and Lydia BROWNING, natives respectively of this and Jackson
Counties. The father, circuit and county clerk, and county
judge and merchant, was born in 1810 and died in 1866. Daniel
M. received an academic education, and began the study of law at
an early age. He graduated with distinction from the law
department of the State University of Indiana, in February 1866,
and, after examination beforethe Illinois Supreme Court in
June, was admitted to the bar before he was twenty years of age.
He was elected county judge in November 1869, when twenty-three
years of age, and re-elected in 1873 and 1877 without
opposition, which position he resigned upon being elected
circuit judge of the First Judicial Circuit in 1879. He is of
fine personal appearance, and has a reputation for suavity,
dignity, learning, and good sense rarely equaled. Since June
1885, he has been engaged in the practice of law in Benton. His
Masonic career began with his initiation into Benton Lodge No.
64 in 1868. He served as Worshipful Master five terms between
the years 1870 to 1878. In 1874 he was District Deputy Grand
Master of the Twenty eighth Masonic District. During the years
1875-77, he was chairman of the appeals and grievances committee
in the Grand Lodge, for which he had qualifications promptly
recognized. In 1878 he was elected Grand Juror Warden, and step
by step he advanced until elected Grand Masterin October 1882.
He was re-elected in 1883, serving with great ability and tothe
satisfaction of 40,000 Illinois Masons. Judge BROWNING is of
exceptionally good social qualities, and those who have met him
can bear testimony to the good cheer with which he is constantly
surrounded. As a Mason and citizen he is the peer of the best.
Historical Description of Circuit Court Judges in Illinois
during the time of David and his father William Browning:
Circuit Court/Circuit Clerk
Illinois circuit courts were established by the Constitution of
1818. The judges, who were also the justices of the Illinois
Supreme Court, were appointed by the Illinois General Assembly
and served during good behavior. The period from 1818 to 1848
saw Supreme Court justices serving as circuit court judges from
1818 to 1824, 1827 to 1835, and 1841 to 1848. Independent
circuit court judges were appointed by the legislature from 1824
to 1827 and from 1835 to 1841. The Constitution of 1848 provided
for the election of circuit judges to six-year terms.
Circuit court jurisdiction covered all criminal cases and all
civil suits for more than $20.8 Circuit courts were empowered
to hear appeals from justices of the peace as well as to
naturalize citizens. In 1827, the courts gained the
responsibility of seeing that prisoners in county jails were
treated humanely. Since 1848, circuit courts have enjoyed almost
an unlimited legal jurisdiction. In 1872, the courts gained
jurisdiction over election contests in counties. This was
extended in 1895 to cover contests for mayors and village
presidents, in 1899 to cover contests for election to the state
judiciary.
