Withrow, an African American, appears to have served as pastor of several Protestant Churches in the southern United States. An article in the April 16, 1904 issue of the Richmond Planet celebrates the…career of Withrow who was then pastor of Augusta Street Methodist Episcopal Church in Staunton, Virginia. That article also reports that Withrow was born in Rutherford County, North Carolina and that he graduated from Bennett College in Greensboro in 1892 -- that initially seemed odd to us because Bennett has been a women's college for almost a century but it was coed from its founding in 1873 until 1926. A short paragraph almost three years later in the Feb. 12, 1907 issue of the Augusta County Argus and Stanton Siftings reports that Withrow hed been back in town and preached at the Mount Zion Baptists Church. That paragraph reminds readers that Withrow had allowed his property to be sold to pay off debts the previous year. Withrow also shows up online as a pastor in Raleigh, North Carolina on an official website of the state of North Carolina in an article titled "World War I Nurse Frances Reed Elliott Davis." The article paints Withrow as a greedy and unkind foster parent to Frances Reed Elliott when he was serving the church in Raleigh. Finally, an unimportant letter sent to Rev, Chauncey I. Withrow from W. E. B. Du Bois in 1927 shows up online from UMass at Amherst. Does anyone want Rev. Withrow's cut signature.
