For fifty years the gravesite was maintained by a local, Edward Simmons, who attended the funeral as a boy.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Edward Simmons passed away the site fell into disrepair, and the area became popular with off-road motor-cyclists. The grave was vandalized on more than one occasion, with the stone being rolled down the hillside.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the mid-1970s, the United States Forest Service restored the gravesite \u2014but placed the gravestone about 15 feet from its correct location. They added a square concrete collar for protection and built a low wooden fence around it to discourage vandalism.<\/p>\n

To Historical Landmarks and Records Commission County of Los Angeles<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please find enclosed our completed application for a Point of Historical Interest status for the Owen Brown Gravesite. We have also today forwarded to the State Historic Resources Board a completed Application for Registration of an Historical Landmark and a National Register of Historic Places Registration Form.<\/p>\n

Because the owner of the site is threatening to remove the grave, we wish to deterrnine landmark eligibility as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

STATE CALIFORNIA \u2014THE RESOURCES AGENCY<\/p>\n

May 9, 1991 – Dear Mr. Monteilh: The State Historical Resources Commission, sitting in regular session in Sacramento on May 3, 1991, considered the application for registration of the Gravesite of Owen Brown, Altadena, Los Angeles County, as a California Point of Historical Interest. I regret to inform you that the Commission did not recommend registration. The point criteria states that an individual must have had a profound influence on the history of the local area . The primary emphasis shall be the site or sites of achievement of an individual, not his birthplace, death place or gravesite.<\/p>\n

Thank you very much for your continued interest in our Point of Historical Interest program.<\/p>\n

In 2006, community members gathered on Little Round Top to celebrate MLK Day and Save the Altadena Trails (STAT\u2019s) winning lawsuit against property owners who blocked the trail to the gravesite. Public access to it was thus protected. The gravestone had been missing since 2002 \u2014 presumably removed by vandals and not yet recovered. STAT considered placing a new marker\/memorial on Owen\u2019s gravesite so his story wouldn\u2019t be forgotten.<\/p>\n

Public access to it was thus protected. The gravestone had been missing since 2002 \u2014 presumably removed by vandals and not yet recovered. STAT considered placing a new marker\/memorial on Owen\u2019s gravesite so his story wouldn\u2019t be forgotten.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”About” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#000000″ background_enable_image=”off” background_size=”initial” background_position=”center_left” background_horizontal_offset=”-2%” custom_padding=”5vw||5vw||true|false” background_last_edited=”on|phone” background_enable_image_phone=”off” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_4,1_4″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”90%” max_width=”1160px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text disabled_on=”on|off|off” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”93137c7c-8384-463f-bc82-8b1fd8d6a31e” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”40px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

He recovers it from where it had been buried a distance from the gravesite near his home on Rising Hill Road. Because foul play was suspected (it had never been buried or moved so far in previous disappearances), he declares he will place the gravestone in a \u201csecure location\u201d until the site has a friendly owner. A few years later, Ian has a replica made \u2014 which in 2017 Altadena Heritage installs in the remodeled Triangle Park (at Altadena Drive and Lake Avenue) to keep the story alive.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/altadenaheritage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/owen-brown-gravestone-replica-1.jpg” title_text=”owen-brown-gravestone-replica” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”on|off|off” admin_label=”Header” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#303030″ background_enable_image=”off” background_size=”contain” background_position=”center_left” overflow-x=”hidden” overflow-y=”hidden” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”100%” module_alignment=”left” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/altadenaheritage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/owen-brown-gravestone-settlement-3.jpg” title_text=”owen-brown-gravestone-settlement” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”b64da4d1-c775-4283-973d-6723930a6234″ header_text_align=”left” header_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_font_size=”42px” custom_padding=”105px|||||” custom_padding_tablet=”105px|||||” custom_padding_phone=”105px|||||” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

A committee of the Altadena Town Council forms to consider \u201cgive back\u201d to the community in exchange for permission to build 18 new homes in the La Vina housing development, located immediately southeast of Owen Brown\u2019s gravesite. After considering many options, the committee comes up with a \u201cParity Plan\u201d in which the developer agrees to purchase the gravesite, place it in a land conservancy, and provide funds for public education. The Altadena Town Council approves the plan. Ian White agrees to relinquish the gravestone, so that it may be put back on Little Round Top.

In 2019, the Supervisors vote to allow Cantwell Anderson to build 18 new homes, after it meets many conditions. Among these is the \u201cParity Plan\u201d to restore Owen Brown\u2019s gravesite. This calls for the formation of a new Committee overseeing that provisions are met \u2014 with representatives from Altadena Town Council, Altadena Heritage, the trails community, and the Meadows neighborhood in which the gravesite is located.

Job number one is to restore gravestone which is accomplished by July. Attorney Paul Ayers, whose lawsuit secured public access to the site, determines the correct placement of gravestone using forensic photography techniques. Because the western shoulder of Little Round Top had eroded, he and landscape architect Mark Goldschmidt design a retaining wall to create a flat space for the grave, and to prevent further erosion. The square concrete collar added in the 1970s, was removed so the stone could be reset properly, with the same amount above ground as in 1898. Cliff Douglas Masonry and his crew reinstalled the stone securely, making it virtually impossible to remove.
