• Notes

  Married: In her autobiography Nina does not elaborate on her marriage except to say he died young. "He enters her story making visits to her parents house, visits which increase in frequency, and, in her words, "ended as most such visits do, in a trip to the hymeneal altar." Note: Marcus died in 1896 at the age of 68. Note: When Marcus was enumerated in the 1850 census at Ripon, WI it included a Mrs. M.D. Larrowe, age 36 (ie: 1838), born in Vermont. There is no record of Marcus having a wife prior to marrying Nina in 1864. Nina always lied about her age but I can find no record of her ever being east of Iowa during this time period. So, Mrs M.D. Larrowe remains a mystery. Divorced: A court notice appears in The San Francisco Examiner (San Francisco, CA), July 2, 1878, page 3, summoning Marcus D. Larrowe to appear before the court to answer the complaint filed by his wife Nina C. Larrowe. "The said action is brought to obtain a decree of this Court dissolving the bonds of matrimony heretofore and now existing....."
