Owen Browns Marker Found - Rsmyth - 08-30-2012 01:46 PM I am very excited today. Having been fascinated with John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry I documented the final resting places of almost all involved including Brown's Raiders, civilians and soldiers and marines that stormed the "fort." One grave that eluded me was that of Owen Brown who escaped Harpers Ferry and eventually moved to Pasedena, CA where he died and was buried atop Brown's Mountain near the little cabin that he lived in. About 10 years ago someone stole the marker and then citing private property. refused to let anyone place another marker. Today the marker was found a few hundred feet from where it was stolen, thrown down the side of the mountain. RE: Owen Browns Marker Found - RJNorton - 08-30-2012 02:11 PM That's wonderful, Rich. I am glad it was found. RE: Owen Browns Marker Found - LincolnMan - 08-30-2012 08:22 PM Is Brown's Mountain so named because of John Brown? RE: Owen Browns Marker Found - Rsmyth - 08-30-2012 08:56 PM That is correct. RE: Owen Browns Marker Found - Jim Garrett - 09-02-2012 09:43 AM No One knows graves like Rich
