George Clark Brown was born December 5, 1902 in Blue, Graham County, Arizona. He was the second child born to Charles F. and Lydia Jane Brown.

George or "Dutch" as he was better known, was a good little kid, but had a bad habit of running off. The first time, he was only eight years old. He left the Blue and made his way to the Double Circle cow ranch near Eagle Creek, Arizona. No one knew how he found his way, but he told the foreman that his dad had sent him over there to go to work. They put him to wrangling the remuda, riding a donkey. Dutch's parents looked for him for 3 month and gave him up, thinking he'd probably drowned in Blue River. A cowboy rode into the Blue post office one day and told Charles that his kid was sure making a good hand. Charles was going to go right over and give him a thrashing and drag him home. The cowboy told him that would not be the thing to do and that one of them would bring him home when the cow works were over. They made their word good and brought Dutch home.

Dutch did not like or want to go to school. Nothing could persuade him to go, so Charles told him he'd either go to school or go to work. Dutch chose work. His dad bought a second set of freight wagons and teams and Dutch went to freighting with his father from Magdelina, to Mogollon New Mexico when he was twelve years old. He worked all the rest of his life.

Dutch married Meda Thornton. It was not a happy marriage from the beginning. Dutch liked a little nip of liquor and Meda opposed it, so therefore the more she nagged, the more he drank. Dutch was prone to just getting up and walking off rather than fight and argue, but the trouble was, he might be gone three or four years. Dutch was a hard worker and tried to provide for his family the best he knew how. He skidded logs with teams in the woods until the company decided to mechanize and then he ran a skid cat. After he and Meda split up, he went back to his real love, that of a cowboy and ranch work.

George was a pleasant person who loved little kids and would do anything to amuse them and make them laugh. All his nieces and nephews loved "Uncle Dutch". Dutch looked after his father and mother when they got old and when Dad Brown passed on, Dutch took care of his mother until she died.

George Clark Brown died October 1, 1977 in Globe, Gila county, Arizona and is buried in the Show Low Cemetery, Navajo County, Arizona. Rest in Peace, Cowboy Dutch
