The Doctor's early life was passed on his father's farm. He attended the State University, and then engaged in school teaching, and studied medicine at odd times. His first preceptor was Dr. B. F. Russell, of Paris, Ind. He also studied with his brother, Dr. J. R. Harrod, of Scott County, Ind. In the session of 1849-50 he attended the Ohio Medical College at Cincinnati. He then began the practice of medicine at Little Rock, Washington County, where he practiced for about four years. In 1856, he came to Canton and bought property, with a view to permanent location. In the same year he returned to the Ohio Medical College at Cincinnati from which he graduated in the spring of 1857. He then established himself in practice at Canton, where he has since pursued his medical profession with great success. He is a member of the State and Washington County Medical Societies and the Christian Church. Octobr 22, 1854, he married Margaret R. Thompson, a native of Washington County, and a daughter of Levi J. and Patsey (Arbuckle) Thompson.
