Shares a stone with his wife, Sarah (1804-1891).
The following memorial is taken from "Records of the Proceedings of the Rock Spring Baptist Church, volume 1," pp. 92-93, dated December 14, 1839. The records are maintained in a bound volume by the St. Louis Mercantile Library.
"According to the request of our late brother and Deacon Charles B. Darrow, who departed this life October 28th, 1839, and by previous arrangement a meeting was held at Rock Spring.
Elder James Lemen preached from Phil. I: 21 "To Die is gain." "Thou will show me the path of life: - In thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures forever more." At the close he gave a short sketch of the character of the deceased.
The church resolved that the following tribute to his memory be recorded.
Brother Darrow & his wife professed religion in the autumn of 1832, & joined the Methodist Society. Being dissatisfied with that connection, & learning more fully his duty, himself & and wife were baptised and united with the Bethel church in the spring of 1833. In September, 1837, he & nearly twenty other baptist members united with the Rock Spring church. Soon after he was chosen Deacon, & December 24, was ordained to that office in this church, which he faithfully filled till his death. Our brother possessed rare & excellent qualities as a man & a christian. He was superintendent of our Sabbath School & bible class.
He was conscientiously punctual in all his engagements & in all of his appointments in the Sabbath School, the prayer meeting, and the church. His religion was that of the every day Christian. His light shown steady, & his lamp was ever trimmed & burning. He was industrious in worldly business, yet fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. During his sickness he affirmed that he should not live, set his house in order, gave directions about his funeral, & conversed with death as a familiar friend. His faith was firm, his hope bright, while a holy calmness & resignation possessed his soul amidst the last agonies of dissolving nature. The neighborhood, the church, & especially his bereaved family have sustained an irreparable loss - while to him "To Die is gain."
He died of a congestive, billious fever after a severe illness of four weeks, at the age of 33 years, in full hope of a triumphant resurrection & blessed immortality."
