JOHN BROWNS BIRTHPLACE.

father of the abolitionist, moved into
1t after having tried to make a living in
other parts Of New England. Here in
l800-on May 8, to be exact-the future
martyr was born. The first five years
Of his life were spent within its shelter.
The Browns had more or less claim to
the title Of ions of New England, no
less than six generations having titled
Its soil since the coming of the May
dewer nearly two centuries before.
In 1905 Owen Brown forsook the East
and settled in Hudson, Ohio, where his
son received his early education. In
1912, securing a contract to supply the
army with provisions. the Brown fam
lily took up it's abode in Detroit. Later
!he son settled in Richmond, Pa, where
President Jackson appointed him post
master.
In the subsequent stormy years of his
life John Brown settled for a time in
Massachusetts. but Torrington and it's
vicinity knew him no more. Now the
people are aroused to retain the fame
which the accident of birth conferred
pm Torrington.
