Transferring his activities to ranching, he engaged in the business in Montana, visiting Washington frequently. He was a member of the Chevy Chase Club. In 1895 Mr. Harlow married Miss Maud Barnaby, who died December 21, 1923. Their daughter, Mrs. Theodore S. Wilkinson, wife of Commander Wilkinson, her two children, and two sisters, Mr. C. C. Whitacre and Mrs. Oscar Haase, both of Upper Montclaire, N.J., survive him.
Mr. Harlow was a vestryman and senior warden of the St. John's Church. Gen. W. M. Wright, Woodbury Blair, Dr. William Mason, Benjamin Minor, Prescott Gatley, Capt. Frank Hill, U.S.N., Arthur Hale and Dr. John D. Thomas will act as pallbearers.
