BIOGRAPHY:
1. FHL book 929.273 B812hj "Ebenezer Brown and His Descendants," by Jennie Brown Hollist and Imogene Brown, Utah, Ebenezer Brown Family Organization, 1982, chapter 12, "George Wright Brown and Mary Ann Hales," pp. 571-, photos of both are included in article: "George Wright Brown was born Jan. 28, 1858, the second son and third child of Ebenezer and Mary Elizabeth Wright Brown. It is not known for sure where he was born, but it is assumed that it was in Draper, Utah, shortly after his parents returned from Carson Valley, Nevada settlement mission. His father had been called to start a settlement there in 1856, but it failed so they came back to Draper. His brothers and sisters were: William, just older than George, and Mary Elizabeth, just younger. The next four children were: Franklin, Julietta, Alfred Chester (died at birth). James Edward was born on 29 March 1870, at which tiime his mother died. George was twelve years old. After the death of their mother, George and his surviving brothers and sister cared for by Ebenezer's other wives. George was nineteen when his father died. On 19 Oct 1885, at the age of 27, George and Mary Ann Hales of Spanish Fork, Utah were married. Six children blessed this union: George Alma, Fern Elmina, Chauncey Ebenezer, Ivy Francis (she died as a child), Lima Hales and Christie May. George built a house for his family at 311 East 13800 South in Draper, Utah. They moved into it on Nov. 26, 1888, the day that their second Child, Fern, was born. George's farm consisted of about 10 acres on which he raised cows and chickens. He also farmed another piece of Land on the west side of the City Canal called the 'School Section.' George had a very interesting past time - he named all of his cows after different women who lived in Draper. His daughter Christie used to tell about hearing his yell, 'Get out of the corn you ___ and then name one of the ladies." Along with being a farmer, George also drove the neighborhood children to school and back in the 'Kid Wagon.' That was what a school bus was called then. When his oldest son, George Alma, was on a mission, he also worked up Little Cottonwood Canyon to help support him. As a pastime George enjoyed going fishing down on the Utah Lake. This was his favorite way to relax. His wife, Mary Ann, died on 20 June 1928 at the age 68. After her death, their youngest daughter Christie and her family moved in with George to care for him George Wright Brown died on 23 March 1932 at the age of 74 at the home of his daughter Lima in Sandy, Utah, where he was staying because Christie had just given birth of her fourth child. He was buried in Draper Cemetery. Children of George Wright Brown and Mary Ann Hales:
a. George alma Brown md. Rose Anna Kern.
b. Fern Elmina Brown md. Joseph Williams.
c. Chauncey Ebenezer Brown md. Olive Saxton.
d. Ivy Francis Brown (died as a child).
