George Mark Brown

George Mark Brown was the son of G.W. Brown and America Alder.

Mark Brown lived in Victoria, Tennessee.

Mark was described as "one of the finest looking young men" who was a "favorite of the female sex." He planned to visit friends in Victoria on March 15th, 1896, but his horse became lame on the trip, therefore postponing the trip to the following week. Mark Brown of Brownsville was often in Sequachee in 1896. Mark attended William M. Hout's house in Brownsville for music entertainment with W.A. Brown and others. Mark called on lady friends at New Hope on April 5th, 1896.

George Mark Brown rides through Victoria nearly every Sunday on his way to Sequachee.

Mr. Brown's family was visited by Miss Ellis (it is not certain that Mark Brown is this Mr. Brown).

G.M. Brown is said to often polish his shoes and head towards Sequachee. On February 23rd, G.M. hitched his horse at Mr. Martin's in Sequachee. He was referred to as "a very attractive young man" who was always welcome in Sequachee. G.M. Brown was the Chief of the fire department and musical director of the Sunday school in Brownsville. G.M. of Brownsville visited his parents in March of 1896 and also spent a day in South Pittsburg on business. G.M.'s horse was hitched again at Mr. Martin's in late March. G.M.'s punctuality was commented on in early April of 1896. In late April, G.M. was ill, but not seriously.

In late April, Mark, and his brother W.A., visited their sister in Copenhagen for her birthday. Their other sister from Cowan also joined. G.M.B. was described as "beautiful, honest, industrious, truthful and healthy."

He was referenced as "quite a surgeon" being capable of performing an operation quicker than anyone else. It is said he could plow more ground in less time than anyone else in the town. It was noted he had a wonderful colt named Maud S. and refused a $500 offer for her. G.M., W.A. and friends attended the Whitwell picnic on April 25th, 1896. He plans on racing his colt.

G.M. attended church in Victoria on May 4th, 1896. He was mentioned as being ill and the only business he was able to conduct was "to call on lady friends of whom he has a great number."

On May 10th, G.M. attended church with a lady at Oak Grove. There is a prospect of a wedding soon.

G.M. attended a picnic across the river from Brownsville on May 16th. G.M. and a lady friend attended a picnic at Coppinger Cove in Sequachee on May 23rd.

Mark went across the mountain in late May of 1896 to attend the quarterly meeting that was held there.

In June 1896, returned from his vacation and started planning another trip, for approximately two weeks. He was busy in the mean time planting peas. Writers and readers of the paper were forced to wait for his return to hear of his moustache blacking recipe.

G.M. Brown got a new wagon in June 1896. He left in the second week of June of that year to the valley to plant sow peas and millet.

There was a Esquire George Brown mentioned in Victoria Notes in June 1896.
