Clifford L. Brown

Clifford L. Brown was born June 5, 1919, on his parents' farm-ranch northwest of Philip, South Dakota, the son of Harry and Myrtle (Teeters) Brown.  He grew up and received his education at a rural school.  As a young man he farmed and ranched with his mother and later purchased the farm-ranch from her.

He was united in marriage to Anna Oudekerk on October 17, 1956 in Philip, South Dakota.  They made their home on his farm-ranch until 1999 when they retired and moved into the Senechal Apartments in Philip, where they have since resided.

Grateful for having shared his life are his wife Anna Brown of Philip; one daughter Zella Sundquist and her husband Orrin of Wasta, South Dakota; two grandchildren, Shar Dart and her husband Jeffery of Rapid City, and Phane Sundquist of Wasta; one great-granddaughter Rayna Dart; a special great-nephew Harlan Sieler of Reva, South Dakota; and a host of other relatives and friends.

Clifford was preceded in death by his parents, two sisters Vera Dezurk and Violet Smith; and one brother Richard "Dick" Brown.
