Ezra Drown
Ezra Drown was an attorney who escaped a shipwreck to become the district attorney of Los Angeles County, California in 1857–59 and 1861–63 and a member of the Los Angeles Common Council, the governing body of the city of Los Angeles, in 1859 and 1861.
==Personal==
Drown was an attorney in Fairfield, Iowa,〔(John B. Newhall, ''A Glimpse of Iowa in 1846'' )〕 when he and his wife, Adeline,〔Drown's wife's name was given as Eliza in the March 9, 1853, edition of the ''Daily Alta California,'' according to ("Drown-L Archives," RootsWeb.ancestry.com )〕 were called to California during the 1849 California Gold Rush by Adeline's father, Thomas Dickey, who had set up a pack horse business in that territory. "Much of the mining country was impractical to wagons, and everything had to be packed in on the backs of mules."〔(Hiram Heaton, "The Argonauts of '49," ''Fairfield Tribune,'' March 9, 1892, page 1 )〕
Drown did not make it to the mining country, but instead he settled in Los Angeles, where he became "an able lawyer, eloquent and humorous, and fairly popular; but his generosity affected his material prosperity, and he died, at San Juan Capistrano, on August 17th, 1863, none too blessed with this world's goods."〔
