ALTADENA, CA — According to a report from the Pasadena Star News, the gravestone of an abolitionist buried in Altadena will soon be reinstalled.
The marker for the grave of Owen Brown was originally lost in 2002 after a previous owner of the land containing the gravesite rolled it down a hill, the paper reported. The marker resurfaced 10 years later after a resident came across it while walking in the area.
