During a visit of the veterans of the Grand Army to Los Angeles they joined in an excursion to the beautiful suburb, Passadena [sic]. While there they learned that Jason and Owen BROWN, with their sister, Mrs. THOMPSON, where living near by. The were at once hunted up, and the children of the old hero of Ossawattomie were put into a carriage, the horses unhitched, and with a long rope attached to Kansas, Iowa, and California boys formed in procession and hauled the family through the streets, the band playing, "John BROWN's Body," and the whole enthusiastic crowd singing the stirring hymn and cheering. The demonstration visibly affected the occupants of the carriage. When the procession reached the depot Owen BROWN made a pithy and characteristic speech.
