Born in Benton, Illinois, Browning received and academic education and graduated from the law school at the State University of Indiana in June 1866. That month, Browning stood before the Illinois Supreme Court to take bar exam and passed. Browning immediately opened a private firm in Benton, however, it appears that he must not have immediately found success, because he taught at the local public school for the next two years. Browning was elected county judge in Franklin County, Illinois (his home county) in November 1869 and was reelected in 1873 and 1877. He was elected to the First Judicial Circuit Court in Illinois in June 1879 and served until 1885, when he again went into private practice. On April 17, 1893, President Cleveland named Browning Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Browning held that position until May 2, 1897, after which he moved to East Saint Louis, where he opened a private law firm in partnership with W.S. Forman. He married Tirzah Isabel Naylor, of Benton, on October 11, 1866, with whom he had three children.
