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.
