Francis Stanley Brown (“Mutt”), 88, passed away in Logan on Sat. Nov. 23, 2013.
He was born in Logan on June 27, 1925, to Ira and Emma Brown, the fifth of seven children. He attended Logan City schools, and prior to his high school graduation he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps.
After boot camp at Camp Elliot in San Diego, he became a member of the Second Marine Division and served in Saipan, Tinian, and Okinawa, and participated in the occupation of Japan. He was honorably discharged Jan. 11, 1946. In high school he acquired the nickname Mutt and has been affectionately known as such by many friends.
