Death is ever taking its toll in each community and in every completed life there is a lesson of benefit to posterity. Charles Larrowe, who at the time of his passing was president of the Larrowe Milling company, of Cohocton, and president of Cohocton State Bank, was one of those citizens who was ever held in the highest esteem. His interest in whatever was undertaken for the advancement of his village made him one who cannot be easily spared from the community, and a heartfelt appreciation for al that he did for Cohocton has, since his death, lost none of its force by the lapse of time.
Charles Larrowe was born in Cohocton, Steuben County, New York, April 10, 1858, the son of Albertus and Harriett (Kellogg) Larrowe. Albertus Larrowe was also a prominent factor in the life of this community and for many hears was president of the Larrowe Milling Company. Upon the death of his first wife, Harriett (Kellogg) Larrowe, he married Katherine Morgan, who is still a resident of Cohocton. Mr. Larrowe died July 26, 1899. The son, Charles, received his education in the public schools of his native place and at the University of Le Ray, New York State. Upon completing his schooling he became associated with his father in the Larrowe Milling Company, subsequently becoming vice-president of the organization, which office he held until his father's death, when he succeeded him to the presidency of the company, which became the largest buckwheat flour mill in the country. Mr. Larrowe was also president of the Cohocton State Bank, having been selected for that position in 1916, and in this important line of advance he again proved himself to be the ablest of executives.
Charles Larrowe was a staunch Republican in his political choice, and for many years was State committeeman of his party. Fraternally, he was affiliated with Liberty Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons of Cohocton; Bath Chapter, Royal Arch Masons; De Molay Commandery, Knights Templar of Hornell; Damascus Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of Troy; and also held membership in the California Club of Los Angeles, in which city he had passed the winter months for several years, returning to Cohocton each spring for the summer and late fall. In fact, it was on his return trip to California after a business trip East that he was taken ill, and but a few days afterwards passed away at his brother's home in Detroit, Michigan, February 23, 1926. Mrs. Larrowe still retains a residence in Cohocton and also in Los Angeles.
