Per Book II Nordhoff Cemetery, by Patricia L. Fry with Dennis Mullican:
"Died September 01, 1911. Lt. Harrow was born in 1841. He came to Ojai in 1878 to do carpenter work on the addition to the Ojai Inn (Blumberg's Hotel) and he decided to stay. He and his wife, Virginia, made their home in the Sespe about seven miles from Wheelers Hot Springs. According to The Ojai, his death was sudden. He and a hired man were working. He was in the seat of a wagon waiting for the gate to be opened and suddenly fell over onto the hay rack, dead. He was known to suffer from heart trouble, but it is believed that death resulted from an attack of apoplexy. He was a veteran of the Civil War and was thought to have been credited with heroic deeds in defending his country. His daughter Fannie was a teacher in Los Angeles. He was Mary Lathrop's grandfather." [NOTE: His parents names were Charles Farrow Harrow and Grace Frame Harrow. Thankyou Grace]
