He is interred at the Soldiers' Home Cemetery Mountain Home National Cemetery in Johnson City, Tennessee. The legacy established by Brownlow's Congressional work remains important in the First District. At the time of his death in 1910, the total of federal appropriations secured by Brownlow for his District was estimated at $8 million. No member of Congress, particularly from the South, had previously matched this level of influence over federal appropriations.
