After a brief stint as a midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy, he opted for civilian life and transferred to Union College, where he earned a degree in 1866. Throop subsequently pursued a career in business, married, and began raising a family. Like his sisters Mary and Emily, however, he was stalked by tuberculosis. His health deteriorating, he was among the earliest patients to seek a cure at Saranac Lake, NY, then the newest world-class site for treatment of the disease. The bedrest and fresh air therapy did not succeed in his case, however, and he died there at age 40. Predeceased by his father and his sisters Harriet, Emily Martin Upton, and Mary, his survivors included his wife, the former Helen Tremain; their two children; his mother; his brothers John, George and Edward; and his sisters Cornelia, Evelina Martin Alexander, Eliza Martin Tremain (wife of his brother-in-law Grenville), and Violet Martin Wilder.
