Most probably named after his father's first teaching colleague, Frank McAuliffe, Mack attended the common schools of Hardinsburg, Breckinridge County and the State University in Lexington. He was a trained musician who entered WWI as a bandsman but was drafted to the front. He fought in the Meuse-Argonne campaigns.
Mack died in the Veteran's hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, and is said to have spent most of his adult life in the hospital, a victim of "shell shock". McAuliffe Brown, Patient, was located in the 1930 and 1940 censuses in the Veterans Hospital in Ross County, Ohio. These records also say that he was married--a fact unknown by surviving family.
A pocket diary that he kept while in the trenches during WWI was found among family papers in 1990. Each entry is only a sentence or two, but together they present a powerful picture of his experience, and explain his long hospital stay. The diary has been donated to the Newberry Library in Chicago.
