Mary Jewett Brown was born on December 7,
1915 in Hitchcock, OK to parents John M.
and Catherine Harnett. She passed away on
December 12, 2011 at the Summit Living
Center in Okeene, OK. Mary was one of
eleven Harnett children. The family moved to
Dewey County about 6 miles west and 5 miles
north of Canton, OK and then moved to
Kansas City, KS. In 1923 at the age of 7,
Mary went to live with Sherman and Cecil
Brown on a farm west of Canton. She was raised by Sherman and Cecil and
graduated from high school at Longdale, OK.
In 1934 she married Clarence “Buck” Brown in Fairview, OK. They made a
home west of what is now Canton Lake until they moved to Southard, OK in
1936. Buck Brown was employed by the United States Gypsum Company. They
moved to Canton, OK in 1944 and lived there except for two years on the farm in
1948-49 until 2002. They had two children, Rita Ann and Talbert Wayne. Buck
died in 1973. Mary continued to live in Canton until she entered Fairview
Fellowship Home in 2002 and then Summit Living Center in Okeene.
Mary was primarily in the home but did work for Ned Herod in Harod Grocery
and later for a number of years in Goode's Store. Mary was active in the First
United Methodist Church serving in the Women's Society and for years prepared
the communion trays for that service. She also worked in the Methodist Church
Thrift Store for a number of years.
Mary was a member of the Blaine County Historical Society and greatly enjoyed
their trips. Mary was the descendant of Scot-Irish grandparents and her genealogy
can be traced to the Mayflower, and her ancestors founded the town of Rowley,
MA in 1637. Her Grandfather was a veteran of the Civil War and three of her
