Harrow - circa 1870 Possibly two others Asa's middle name is known from his voters registration in Humboldt county, California. His family was, according to the 1850 Iowa census, all from Virginia. He was one of at least seven siblings. After marriage Asa and and family are found in Lafayette county, Iowa, through the 1854 state census. Several of their daughters were born in Iowa before the move to California. Asa and Sarah moved to Northern California, evidently attracted by a minor gold rush, along with two of Asa's brothers and possibly Sarah's brother, Lewis Miller Troup. Whether they came all together or separately in the late 1850's into the 1860's is not known, but the three Harrow brothers are living in Eel Township, Humboldt County, by 1866. Close relatives migrating together was a common pattern as relatives were those one could count on for mutual support and in hard times. The lure of striking it rich may have brought them to Humboldt county but the reality was quite different. Life was fairly difficult and opportunities were not as great as in other parts of California. Asa appears to have been a bit foot loose looking for work and opportunities evidenced by two letters written home by Sarah asking for money, mentioning that Asa was either traveling or was living separately. As so many women of her generation in Humboldt county, she had to live with an absent husband trying to make ends meet. Asa appears in the 1880 census for Lost River Precinct of Lake County, Oregon, whereas Sarah appears in Santa Clara County, California, divorced with three of the children. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Morning Oregonian (Portland, Ore) 4 December 1884 Section "Pacific Coast" Subsection "Southern Oregon" "Quite a snow and thunder storm occurred in the neighborhood of Willow creek, Klamath county one day last week. The lightning was terrific. Mr. Asa Harrow and a young man by the name of Smith, who were caught out during the storm, say that the lightning was so close to them that they were severely shocked, so much so that they have not entirely recovered from its effects. Mr Smith was thrown from his horse and considerably bruised." ~~~~~~~~~~~ Obit. Ferndale Enterprise, 29 April, 1892. Asa Harrow, a pioneer resident of the Mattole section, aged 69 years, died in Eureka April 21st. The old gentleman has been a sufferer for many months past, and his death was no surprise to his friends. He was the father of Fletcher Harrow, of Petrolia, to whom we extend our sympathy.
