**********************************************************************

Clark C. Brown, proprietor of "The Tribune" of Union, Franklin Co.,
Mo., was born in Kankakee County, Ill., September 19, 1858, and is the
son of Samuel and Jane (Calkins) Brown.  The father was born in Tomp-
kins Co., N. Y., September 20, 1813, and was the son of Ichabod Brown, 
also a native of New York State.  Samuel came west at the age of 
twenty-five, and located in Michigan, but later removed to Ohio.  From
there he removed to Illinois, and in 1869 removed to Missouri, located
in Franklin County, and here followed agricultural pursuits until his
death, which occurred in 1878.  The mother was born in Onondaga County,
N. Y., May 3, 1832, and is the daughter of Cornelius C. Calkins.  She
is still living and is a resident of Boone Township, Franklin Co., Mo.
The subject of this sketch remained with his parents in Kankakee Co.,
Ill., until his eleventh year and then came to Franklin Co., Mo.  He
secured a limited education in the common schools, and at the age of
eighteen began teaching, having by his own exertions fitted himself 
for that calling.  Having followed the profession of a school teacher
for eleven years, he established "The Tribune", a newspaper of Union,
of which he at once took active management, and is engaged at that
business at the present.  The Tribune is being conducted as a candid,
earnest Republican paper, and occupies a worthy position among other
journals of the county.
