LAWRENCE M. FARROW - Hamilton's fifth Postmaster, was born in St. Paris, Champaign county, Ohio, November 25, 1829. He received an excellent education and at an early age entered the law office of Samuel Shellabarger and James M. Hunt, of Springfield, Ohio, as a student. After completing his law course, he and Judge Hume removed to Hamilton in the fall of 1852 and opened a law office, known as Hume & Farrow, and continued his chosen profession until July 29, 1853, when he was appointed Postmaster by President Franklin Pierce, and served until March 13, 1857, when he was succeeded by Jacob Troutman. Mr. Farrow was a man of delicate constitution. The close confinement in the postoffice impaired his health, and he returned to St. Paris, where he resided with his father until his death, which occurred in 1859, from consumption.
