Answer to the Application for Pension of Christopher Barlow    War Dept Pension Office     Jan 30, 1835

This declaration of Christopher Barlow and the testimony in support of his claim have been examined. He alleges that he enlisted in Captain Boyer’s company in Virginia for 2 years, and was marched to the Western Frontiers of that state where he served his time out and that his brother Lewis Barlow of Indiana served in the same company and is now receiving a pension. Reference has been made to his brothers declaration on file. He served in Captain Boyer’s Co, but said company belonged to the Continental Establisment and performed service totally different from that set forth by the applicant. If the applicant served at all it was as a militia man. No allowances can be made excepting for his three tours of militia service amounting in all 6 months.

The pages will be placed on file with suspended cases.   I have the honor to be very respectful

The Old Barlow Mill

What It Had to Do With the History of Clay Township

Note:  The date does not match the date mentioned in the document

 

Bread was man's first necessity. The method, in primeval days, of converting grain into meal for bread was of the simplest character. Women did all the mill work. The wind-mill was finally invented in England and was utilized for grinding purposes. But young America would not abide such an institution. Yankee ingenuity invented the water-wheel and harnessed it to the running brooks of New England, thus making machinery do the work that, for ages past, had been per formed by man.

The building of a grist mill in primitive times in many instances was the nuclum(sic) around which sprang up a thrifty community, often resulting in the staring of a lively village. First a mill then a store, blacksmith shop, shoe shop, cabinet-maker, post office and much other lines of business as a farming community demands. Such was the history of early times.

In our day railroad centers determine the location of towns, and, in measure, determine their population. But enough on this line. Our purpose is to note a few facts in regard to the old Barlow grist mill.

During the year 1848 a man by the name of Fugitt purchased a tract of land just north of the present site of Rock Port, at the same time constructing a dam across Rock Creek and starting a saw-mill, to which he added a pair of corn-burrs. In 1852 Jeremiah Barlow came to this county from Shelby county, Indiana and purchased this mill property, immediately setting to work to build a grist-mill, which was greatly needed. A Frenchman by the name of Ephraim Horner did the mill work. The mill was in operation in December 1852, and was quite a paying institution. A young man by the name of Tootle came on with a small stock of goods and here made his start in life. He afterwards moved to St. Joseph and died there several years ago-- Milton Tootle, the multi-millionaire, whose estate is one of the largest in Missouri. Then followed a post office, and things were lively, for that day, in this part of Northwest Missouri.

The Barlow family consisted of the parents and eight children, all of whom, we believe have passed away except Jeremiah Barlow, of Oakley, Kansas, and Mrs. Juda Purdum, of this city, wife of Judge Jeremiah Purdum, deceased. The elder Barlow died in 1868, and, in time, the mill property passed into the hands of William Barlow, who departed this life in 1896. His first wife was Miss Mary Ann Wolfe. After her death, he married Miss Mary Jane Sherfy. She was a woman of great physical power. Phillip Walter, Sr., often tells of this woman's strength with a story told as follows: "It was at a gathering of farmers on the land now owned by Henry Warneke. The object was to display what they had raised after the grasshoppers had destroyed their first planting. Among the products on exhibition was a pumpkin weighing over 100 pounds. Rob't Lyon and Mr. Walter proposed to give $1 to any woman present who would lift the pumpkin from the stand and replace it. Many women tried to lift it and failed, but Mrs. Barlow walked up, and without much effort, lifted the pumpkin from the stand to the ground and back again. She received the money amid the happy shouts of the crowd.

But to resume our narrative. The mill passed into the hands of various parties until it became the property of Jefferson Watson, who expended several hundred dollars in improving the dam and building. Mr. Watson became involved in a lawsuit with Willis Holliway, who had a mortgage on the property. After foreclosures and injunctions the machinery in the mill was knocked off at $500 and the remaining property at $200, these amounts being one half of the indebtedness against the property.

So ends the history of this old mill. Nothing remains of it except a pair of old French burrs now owned by James O. Crossley of this city, who has placed them in his building on the west side of town, where he is grinding in the manner known to early days. A son of Ephraim Horner was here in the employ of Mr. Crossley during the past month. We saw him dressing the old burrs and while in conversation with him, he said: "I have known these burrs since 1852. My father put the gearing in the old Barlow mill, and while he was doing other work, I dressed and readied these burrs. I was then sixteen years old. The stones were imported from France to St. Louis and there placed in their present form and shipped to this county. A better pair of burrs were never put in motion than these. They will last for years to come."

Mr. Crossley said: "These burrs have been in use ever since they were placed in the Barlow mill. If I had all the wheat I have ground on them I would have an independent fortune."

The Barlow mill had its day. It did its work well. It ground corn to make hoe-cake for men who, at that day, were mere lads, among whom we might include Dr. Amos Lewis, Hon. J. P. Lewis, Floyd Schooler, John Low, and a host of others who are now our leading citizens. Long may we cherish the memory of the Barlows and the good work they did for our county in an early day!

Columbus Republican, Bartholomew Co Indiana

April 10, 1886

Excerpt:

The nearest place to get any meal or flour was Connersville or Brooklyn, in Wayne county. Old Mr. Barlow put up the first horse mill to grind corn. Each man had to take his own team to run the mill and grind his 'grist' and then it was slow work. A couple of years later one Cox put a temporary mill on Flatrock, near what is now called 'High Field Ford.' He felled a tree across the creek where it was swift for a dam, fixed a paddle wheel on it and ground some corn, but it had to be watched closely or the coons would eat it as fast as it ground.

In 1823 or 1824 John Pence built a mill on Driftwood where the old Tannehill mill now stands and after that there was no trouble in getting grinding done, providing you had anything to grind.

The following is a list of those who settled in this township between 1819 and 1825: Jacob and Jerry Barlow

I have a collection of calling cards that apparently belonged to Rebecca Barlow, or possibly even her mother Rebecca Pile. Two of them are older than the others and are handwritten beautifully in the same hand, one for Sarah J.A. Barlow, and one for Benjamin Barlow, both of Rising Sun, Polk Co Iowa, and dated April 13, 1857.

The other cards are professionally printed and are for Miss Izoria Barlow, John W. Barlow, Miss Victoria Barlow, and William Barlow

I also have a piece of beautiful caligraphy with the Lord's Prayer written in a very small circle (about the size of a dime) signed Jacob Barlow Esqr. and dated February 16th 1857 with another entry 1858 (?).

A letter from J.W. Barlow posted from Marshall, Illinois, April 14th, 1854 to Rebecca Barlow. The tiny little envelope is addressed to:
Rebecca A. Barlow, Edinsburg Johnson Co Indiana and is stamped with 2 circular postmarks, 1 says Marshall Ill April 11 and one says "PAID 3"
Ouoted as written:

Marshall Ill April 14th 1854

BIRTHDAY DINNER

We had the pleasure on the 5th of this month, of attending a dinner party at the residence of the venerable Lewis Salla, in Hendricks Township, five miles west of this city. The feast was prepared in honor of Mr. Salla's 80th birthday, and was gotten up in splendid style, under the more immediate management of Mrs. Henry L. Ross, Mrs. E. W. Bowers and Mrs. Alfred Salla, the first two mentioned being daughters, and the l ast a daughter-in-law of the host. There were present on the occasion, besides the ladies mentioned above, the following sons and daughters of Mr. S:

William Salla, O. C. Salla, Melville Salla, Alfred Salla, Mrs. Valentine Stillabower, Mrs. James E. Toner, Mrs. George W. Hill, Miss Kate Salla.

The Rev. John Reece was present among the invited guests and favored the party with a few appropriate remarks. Mr. Lewis Salla, in whose honor this birthday dinner was given, was born in Rhode Island, June 5, 1798. From that state he emigrated to New Hampshire, at the age of sixteen years, where he remained for five years.

In 1820, when just arrived at manhood, he removed to this state, first stopping in Franklin County, where he lived two years and then moved to Rush county. There he remained for twenty-nine years.

In 1842 he was elected one of the associate Judges of Rush County, and served a term of seven years. In 1852, the subject of our sketch removed to this county, and settled on the farm where he now resides, and has continuously resided since his advent. Mr. Salla is the father of fifteen children, thirteen of whom are still living; fifty-two grandchildren, forty-five of whom are living; and has five great grand children. All of the children married well and respectably with the exception of the youngest who is still single. We regarded it a great privilege to be able to participate in this happy reunion and trust the venerable host, although now advanced in years, may see many returning birthday.

I can only assume that Mr. Stillabower married a to Miss Salla after Rebecca's death in 1870.

A child of Rebecca Barlow and Valentine Stillabower's, Violet Stillabower is buried in Mt. Auburn Cemetery, born July 21, 1865 and died November 11, 1868

Was married January 3rd 1811 A.D. in Washington Co Kentucky, five miles from Springfield. Came to Busro or Shaker Prairie Indiana in the spring of 1815 and raised a crop. Went back and moved his family out in the fall of 1815. Raised another crop there in the spring of 1816 and in January 1817 moved to Lamotte Prairie Illinois, 1 1/4 miles south of where Hutsonville now stands.

Moved his family to Marshall on the 17 of October 1839.

*One source tells me that John was married prior to his marriage to Elizabeth Gordon, I wonder if Sarah might have been a child of that marriage. Just in case, I am adding her family, click on her name for the link.

The Doctors Barlow

Three sons of John W. and Elizabeth Gordon Barlow also practiced medicine: Drs. J. Milton Barlow and James M. Barlow, Crawford County; and Dr. John W. Barlow, Jr., Jasper County, Illinois. A daughter of the senior John Barlow, Nancy Owen Barlow Hurst (Mrs. John R), Hutsonville, is an ancestor of Dr. John Hurst Olwin, native of Crawford County, who is a surgeon and member of the attending staff at Presbyterian St. Luke's Hospital, Chicago, Illinois. Mrs. Hurst was also an ancestor of the late Dr. Ausby Lyman Lowe, Jr., Robinson, Illinois.

John W. Barlow and his family located on the site of the Hutson Massacre and used a stable as their temporary home, the only building left standing after the Hutson tragedy. A son, Henry, was born there and according to county history was the first white child born in Hutsonville. John Barlow ultimately purchased the land and lived there until 1839 when he and his family moved to Marshall, Clark County, Illinois.

Hutson Township, Crawford Co Illinois

Henry M. Barlow, first white child born in this township

"History of Crawford County"

This township, one of the most productive farming divisions of Crawford County, lies along its eastern boundary of the county with Clark County on the north, Lamotte and Robinson Townships on the south, the Wabash River on the east, and Licking Township to the west.

The Wabash furnishes its drainage, mainly through Raccoon and Hutson Creeks, and a portion of its area is liable to periodical overflows. Back from the Wabash the surface is somewhat undulating, varied by stretches of open prairie and patches of timber. Black walnut, oak, sugar maple, white walnut, elm, cottonwood, sycamore, buckeye, hackberry, pecan, hickory, etc., constituted the original timber growth.

Its industries are mostly agricultural, and some of the farms are quite extensive, the only detriment to profitable soil-tilling being the hazard of inundation in the depressed areas within its borders.

The first white settlers in what is now Hutsonville Township, of which there is any reliable records, were the members of the Hutson family, all of whom, except its head, were massacred by the Indians during the War of 1812. The mother and four children fell victims to a savage onslaught on their log cabin outside of the fort, during the absence of the father who was afterwards killed in a skirmish with another band of redskins. Hutson had refused to remove his family to the stockade where most of the pioneers had taken refuge.

The Eaton and Barlow families were conspicuous in the pioneer days of this township, John Eaton having been one of the inmates of the fort.

The Barlow brothers, John W., Joel, and Jesse, came from Kentucky in 1816, the first named locating on the spot where the Hutson family was killed. The Indians had burned the Hutson cabin, but had left the stable standing, which furnished shelter for the Barlows and was the birthplace of one of their children, Henry M., the first white child born in the township.

With the Barlows came John Neeley and Joseph Bogard, and in 1818 followed Charles and John Newlin, John Hill and the Sackrider family, Sackrider having been a captain in the War of 1812, and one of Commodore Perry's command on Lake Erie.

Crawford County History:

"Jesse first married Rebecca Gibbons 09 March 1818 and they had five sons and two daughters. In 1842 he married Rebecca Biggs Hill, widow of William Hill, and they had five children."    ...This is as yet unconfirmed....

Note from Susan:    I find a Rebecca Biggs who married a William Hill in Green Co Indiana on January 24, 1826 that may be the same.

Jesse Barlow came from Kentucky about 1816 and settled in Hutsonville Township with his first family. About this time he settled on the Birch farm.

The Doctors Barlow

In 1816, a year before Crawford County was formed, the Barlow brothers, Jesse, John W., Joel, James and their families, emigrated to Illinois from Kentucky and were among the first settlers in the vicinity of Hutsonville. They were descendants of Joel Barlow, poet and eminent statesman of Connecticut, born in 1754 and died in 1812; and of John Marshall of Virginia, fourth chief justice of the United States, born in 1730 and died in 1802. Both men were soldiers the in the Revolutionary War.

Note: The information about the relationship of this family to Joel Barlow is incorrect, Joel is of the Fairfield Connecticut line of Barlow's while this family is of Germanna lineage

The Barlow brothers share in the history of the Crawford County medical profession, both directly and indirectly. Jesse Barlow and his wife, Rebecca Biggs Barlow, were the first Barlow physicians in Crawford County and, also the first physicians of the region. They were the parents of the late Dr. Columbus Barlow, Robinson, Illinois.

Little is known about Jesse and Rebecca Barlow's lives as physicians except for information contained in a biographical sketch of their son, Dr. Columbus Barlow, written in 1909, ... "the doctor's parents were physicians of an early day and Jesse Barlow's knowledge of herbs and their many uses were marvelous and known far and near." Herbs were widely used for treating illnesses in the early nineteenth century and, according to family history, Dr. Jesse Barlow was very successful in appyling this art. The doctor was also a farmer and blacksmith. He erected the first blacksmith shop at Oblong in1852 and built the first distillery there which he operated for about five years.

In 1850 he was responsible for the first frame schoolhouse to be built in Oblong. It was located on his farm in the northeast corner of Oblong township, and functioned for twenty six years.

Dr. Jesse Barlow died in 1854, the father of fourteen children. Before his death, he made the request that his youngest son, Columbus, be given a medical education.

All the above to dried pulverized and put in three gallons of water and boiled down one half. Then strain and add one quart of French Brandy or good [underlined twice] whiskey, and two pounds of Orlean sugar. Dose small wine glass full three times a day for three months. The foregoing Recipte (sic) is from the Recipe Book of Jesse Barlow Senior Crawford Co Illinois, and is considered a sure remedy for Bilious Colic And other Bilious Diseases.

Feb. 3rd 1880 D. W. Haught

This recipe was found among papers in the Newlin family records, would not seem odd, except that I find a Newlin family living next to Jesse and Rebecca, in 1850, Crawford Co Illinois, who have a 4 year old child named Isabel Barlow living in their home. In 1860, that same child, now age 14, is living a few doors away with the family of Isaac Howard.

Children of Jesse and Rebecca Gibbons are:

  LORENZO DOW5 BARLOW born about 1828, Illinois
  JULIUS BARLOW born about 1834, Illinois
  ELIZABETH BARLOW born about 1839
 

EMILY BARLOW born about 1846     She married ARCHIBALD W. McTAGGART January 26, 1860

DUBLG4U: My mother Hattie Naomi Gray McTaggart wrote her memoir's while still of sound mind at 70+ (born 1902.) I have three notebooks full of relatives both living and dead. Her first passage mentions Emily Barlow (1845-1877) as wife to Archibald W. McTaggart, married January 26, 1860. A cousin of mine sent me his notes of the McTaggart side and he mentions Emily Barlow as the daughter of Jesse Barlow and Rebecca Hill Barlow Biggs. No concrete documentation but its a lead that deserves more study.

On the ages of the children there were no records kept and when Dr. Buckham gave his statement, in 1884, to the Pension Board his age was in the late 70's and some say he acted quite childish so the dates will always be a mystery.

George Washington Barlow was in Co C 5th Regiment, Missouri State Militia. According to statements made by many family members and Dr. Buckham, Washington came home on a furlough and died from a disease contracted in the military. Four months prior to him dying he married Elizabeth Sherfy, sister to Mary Jane Sherfy Barlow who was married to his brother.

War Department Record of Washington Barlow

Statement by Elizabeth Barlow Waldter - 11th day of November A.D. 1884 in regards to her application for a military pension

Notwithstanding the forgoing facts have been such, I again swear that Washington Barlow died April 11, 1863. That he died of disease contracted in the Army while in the line of duty. That he came home from the Army on a furlough and died in about 4 months after his return not being able to do anything during any of that time and not being able to return.

Dr. Buckham a physician who resided near was called to see him in his last illness and he at once said that he was beyond the reach of medicine and would die soon and he made no charge and has no entry on his books. Consequently it is hard for him to remember any material facts in regard to the matter, especially as he is old now and childish and in poor health.

Notwithstanding the forgoing condition of affairs I have already obtained Dr. Richard Buckham’s affidavit and sent into the Department. I have complied with every order made by the Department in ____ showing the dates of birth of the five children of Washington Barlow, formerly of Co C 5th Regt Mo. S.M. as required by how W. W. Dudley ____ pension on the 7 day of May 1884 giving good reasons why the requirements were not fully complied with. Also an affidavit as to the death of Washington Barlow made by Mrs. Mary Barlow accompanied by a statement from Mr. McCarty of Wyoming, Nebraska who lived and lives now near the place where he was killed. All these and former affidavits show that Washington Barlow died of disease contracted in the Army about 4 months after he came home being there on a furlough on account of his sickness and not having being discharged. Affidavits have also been sent showing the marriage of Washington Barlow and his first wife the mother of the five children, also affidavits sent showing his and her death and his marriage to me and also my marriage to Louis Waldter in 1864.

To the best of my knowledge and ability have been to about $70.00 expense in the last year in getting testimony in this case. That I think I am entitled to is a pension for the twenty months of my widowhood during of which time I took care of and supported the five children.

I was a widow from April 11 1863 to Dec 24, 1864 when I was married to my present husband. I also think that I am entitled to 5 months back pay which I never have received as nothing was paid while he was home on his furlough on account of his disability.

She married JAMES D. RAMES, March 14, 1875, Linn Co Missouri

Lillie Barlow writes:

There are questions as to this marriage, according to two other sources she did not marry James Rames.

The following information about Julia Ann Barlow, was found on the LDS Ancestral File and submitted by two different individuals, I have not verified any of it. I am waiting for replies from the sources.

Note from Susan:  May 2006:  Julia Ann Barlow who married James Raimes in Miller Co Missouri was the daughter of James Morrison Barlow and Julia Robinett of the Gallatin Co Illinois Barlow's.

Julia Ann felt she was the daughter of Jeremiah and Amanda. Her relatives have turned her name in as though she is. Vern has ample info with sources to disprove that.

Grandma, -Mary Saviny Cooper Barlow- said she wasn't sure what the relationship was even though she knew she was raised by them.

Julia Ann was married on May 01, 1882 to a Jacob Andrew White, b. Feb.14, 1856 in Iowa. Julia Anna died 27 January 1930 in Nampa, Canyon Co Idaho, as did her spouse. He died March 10, 1950.

She then married William Southworth who was born in Lancaster, Preston, England.   She had 8 children most of whom are living.

If anyone has verification for any information about Julia, it would be much appreciated if you would share that information

The Doctors Barlow

James M. Barlow, M. D. graduated from the Medical Department of Lind University, Chicago, Illinois founded in 1859 - the forerunner of Northwestern University Medical School. One of its founders, Dr. Wm. Byford, was from Crawford County and well known in medical circles of early Chicago.

After receiving his diploma, March 04, 1861, Dr. Barlow practiced first at Annapolis, Crawford Co, and then in Jasper County.

He was a member of the Assculapian Society of the Wabash Valley.

Typical of many doctors in those time, he operated a combination drug and grocery store. The following advertisement which he placed in the Constitution of 1877 was accepted practice:

"Druggist and General Grocer   Keeps on hand Pure Drugs, Patent Medicines -   Paints, Oil and Groceries   Give me a call before purchasing."

Dr. Barlow moved to Kenton, Texas, in 1877, where he died on April 10, 1895.

Jasper Co Illinois - Early History

Grandville Township, in the northeastern corner of the county, is eight miles north and south by about five and three-fourths miles east and west, and contains about forty-five square miles, about half of which is beautiful prairie and is nearly all in cultivation, with some very fine farms in the timber and some very large and fine farms on the prairie.

Mr. G. W. Jotters, who lives in the southeast part of the township, in the edge of the timber, has a fine, large farm with good buildings thereon, and there are several large and beautiful farms west of him, on the prairie. The township is well furnished with school and church houses. The first settlers that can at present be given, were J. Shook and Adam Owry, about the year 1832, then the Leamonses, about 1837, and many others, until 1880 they had in the township 1,462 souls, with personal property valued at $47,462, real estate, $150,474, total, $197,936; their votes stood Democratic, 138, Republican, 146, Greenback, 15- total, 299. Dr. J. M. Barlow is supposed to be the heaviest man-his weight is 240 pounds; G. Leamon the tallest, height six feet one inch; Granny Shacklee the oldest person, aged eighty-two years; Samuel Simpson is seventy-eight years......

He moved to Westfield, Clark County, Illinois, in 1874, and afterward returned to this area and practiced at Eaton. Due to ill health, the doctor was forced to abandon his profession, shortly before 1880, and returned to his farm near Westfield where he died October 12, 1880.

Dr. Barlow was married to Susan R. Rubottom, Graysville, Indiana, the daughter of Dr. W. F. Rubottom.

History of Illinois - Crawford Biographical 1909

Dr. Columbus Barlow, son of Jesse and Rebecca "Biggs" Barlow, was born near Eaton, Illinois, April 27, 1847, and was the fourth in a direct line of physicians, his father and mother both practicing in an early day. His father at one time had a large herb garden, and his knowledge of herbs and their used was marvelous and known far and near. In the remoter line, these doctors are of a family which has achieved things professionally, for there stand out among them such men as John Marshall, the great Chief Justice, and Joel Barlow, poet and statesman. (this is in error - Joel Barlow is not of this family, instead he is from the Fairfield Connecticut line.)

Columbus was the youngest of fourteen children. When seven years old he was afflicted with white swelling, which left him a cripple for life. During this illness his father died, leaving the request that the boy should have the benefit of a medical education. As a child he was delicate and was favored by every one. All through life the fact that he was a cripple was a drawback, but it seemed to strengthen his determination to accomplish great mental things. When able to attend the country school, continuing until he had completed its course. After his school days he worked in a wagon and carriage shop for six years to raise money for his professional education, reading several hours a day, and for the last two years, devoting eight hours a day to medical study, (with Dr. Samuel J. Griffith directing his studies), and eight hours to manual labor. He was now twenty-four years old, and during that year married Miss Maria Athey, who died three years later, as did their two children. After three years alone he married Mrs. Sarah Smith Price, and it need not be said that a marriage was ever more felicitous.

Dr. Barlow attended two courses of lectures at the Cincinnati College of Medicine and Surgery, but during this time was compelled to economize while in school, having not more than one suit of clothes at a time and often doing his own cooking. He graduated June 27, 1877 and on July 4th, following, entered upon the practice of medicine at Eaton. This was a small town and his practice was that of the country doctor. His office was small and poorly equipped, all the furniture being made by his own hands. He made his chairs, bookcase, and operating table. The latter had all the movements of the more modern tables. The first box of drugs he received was emptied and nailed up again, using it for a stool. It was in almost constant use during his practice at Eaton which continued until 1895. The box is still in existence, and carved upon its sides are the names of men who studied under him, a dozen names, all a credit to the profession. At one time his office was called the Medical College, and all these students became workers in medical societies and members of some one or the other of the churches. All of his life he was helping boys to obtain an education, both by encouragement and by furnishing means. His practice at Eaton was a strenuous and laborious one. He treated men, women and children for miles around, going through all weathers and at all hours. Often he visited a patient when he was the sicker of the two. He treated rich and poor alike, and often left money instead of collecting it. Among his papers was found a slip in a number of Bible references written and, at the top, "Bible authority for helping the poor." He believed in this and lived up to it. He was not only the people's doctor, but he helped them and sympathized with them in every way, and was always using every effort to build up and better the little community in which he lived.

In 1881, Dr. Barlow took a post-graduate course at Rush Medical College, Chicago, did some post-graduate work in 1893, and in 1894 took the general course at the Post-graduate Medical School, Chicago. In 1895 he moved with his family to Robinson. Here he formed a partnership with Dr. Firebaugh which lasted for eight years. Soon after removing there he was made an elder in the Christian Church, and was always useful and active in every good work.

Dr. Barlow took an active interest in medical societies and instilled that interest in all of his students. These societies came next to his God and his family in his affections. In an article on the importance of medical societies he says in part: "Through the influence of medical societies human existence has been prolonged, and the splendid homes all over the country maintained in their present sanitary condition; and more than that, it cements the doctors together in strength and efficiency when its forces are properly harmonized."

From 1883 to 1906 he missed but four of the bi-montly meetings of the Crawford County Medical Society and during his residence at Eaton he had to drive nine miles to attend them.

Dr. Barlow was President of the Crawford County Medical Society in 1883, and its Secretary 1892-93; a member of the Esculapian Society of the Wabash Valley, and held the office of President in the latter society; a member of the Illinois Medical Society and serving as a member of the Board of Councilors and of the American Medical Association; Vice-President of the National Tuberclosis Commission; was an auxillary committeeman of the first Pan-American Medical Congress, and had been twice appointed United States Pension Examining Surgeon.

To medical literature he contributed many papers. His paper on "Personal Hygiene" was the most elaborate and written more in detail than any of the others. He also published a book entitled, "Day Dreams of a Doctor", which deserves more than a passing notice. It was reviewed by the press all over the country with much praise and he received many personal letters in regard to it from other authors and friends, among them Donald G. Mitchell, Dr. Matthews and one from Miss Marie C. Brehm.

Dr. Barlow had been ailing for several years before his death, and it was only by constant pleading on the part of his family that he was persuaded to leave his practice and take a trip to Colorado.

He was always loyal to his profession, and his perseverance was remarkable. He attended meetings almost to the last and took part in them just as long as his strength would permit. He had an indomitable will, and it is that will, perhaps, more than to anything else, that he owed his success. He was a deep thinker, a careful reasoner, and spond in his judgment, which with a pleasant dispositon, made him a factor long to be remembered.

Through all of his sufferings he seldom grew discouraged and always talked about opening a new office. He took a course of treatment at Hot Springs a few weeks before his death, and not until that failed to help him did he begin to give up. He wanted to live for his family and his profession, but the thoughts of death were not even unpleasant to him. He had perfect faith and always said it was just a little change in his life -- a journey and then wait a while until he would see his friends again. All through his sickness, his step-son, Dr. Price, was a help and a comfort. The Doctor was confined to his bed only a little more than two weeks, during which time he seemed to suffer but little. He passed away October 8, 1907, entering into a sleep as peaceful and serene as his life had been.

The children born to Dr. and Mrs. Barlow were:

Lulu, born May 13, 1879   Harry, born in February 1881 and died in August 1882     Brodie, born August 30, 1883     Mary, born January 09, 1886

Columbus Barlow, MD.     Transcribed by Sue Robinson, Crawford Co Illinois

Was the fourth physician in a direct line in his family, and the youngest of the Jesse Barlow children. He was born at Eaton, Illinois, April 27, 1847, and when only seven years old was afflicted with tuberculous arthritis. Although the disease crippled him for life, it did not deter him from attaining his goal of becoming a physician.

He attended the country school, founded by his father, and in order to finance his medical education, worked in a wagon and carriage shop for six years during the last two years of this employment he devoted eight hours a day to medical study with his preceptor, Dr. Samuel J. Griffith of Porterville.

He was then qualified to attend the required lectures at the Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio, and graduated June 27, 1877, at the age of thirty.

Dr. Barlow began the practice of medicine at Eaton, Crawford County and worked there for eighteen years. In an earlier sketch of the doctor, written in1909, it was stated, "due to a lack of funds the doctor's office at Eaton was small and poorly equipped. He made his own furniture, including an operating table, which had all the moving parts of the more modern tables." The sketch further tells that he converted the first box of drugs he received into a stool, and carved upon its sides were the initials of the men for whom he was preceptor while practicing at Eaton.

All of his life he encouraged young men to obtain an education and influenced many of them in becoming physicians; even giving financial assistance when the need arose. So great was the doctor's interest in this endeavor that, at one time, his office at Eaton was called "The Medical College".

The late Dr. George H. Henry, who had his A. B. degree and had been a teacher for a number of years, was so stimulated by Dr. Barlow's enthusiasm to consider medicine as a profession, that he gave up his vocation as a teacher and entered medical school, receiving his medical degree three years after Dr. Barlow's death.

Dr. Barlow furthered his own education with postgraduate work at Rush Medical College, Chicago, Illinois, in 1881, 1893; and took the general course at the Postgraduate Medical School in Chicago in 1894.

He and his family moved to Robinson in 1895 where he formed a partnership with Dr. I.L. Firebaugh that continued for eight years.

The doctor was an adamant believer in the value of medical societies. In an article written on the subject he says, in part, "It is strange what peculiar ideas some people have in regard to the work of medical societies ... Many well-informed people believe medical organizations to be medical trusts, organized for the special purpose of fleecing the people .... The society does not consider the financial interests of the profession; unless it be in the way of making better physicians of themselves. If that is their financial interest, then they may be considered to be looking after the money question ... Medical societies are the life of the profession, and more inspiration for scientific work comes from them, perhaps, than from any other source. It is the wide-awake physicians that take a lively interest in society work, and they are the ones who are up to date ... Through the influence of medical societies human existence has been prolonged, and the splendid homes all over the country maintained in their present sanitary conditions; and, more than that, it cements the doctors together in one great fraternity, which is monumental to strength and efficiency when its forces are properly harmonized."

Dr. Barlow was one of the founders of the Crawford County Medical Society in 1880 and "from that year until 1906 missed only four of its bi-monthly meetings." He was the first treasurer of the society and served as president in 1883, and as secretary in 1892.

The doctor became a permanent member of the Illinois State Medical Society in 1881; this was an independent action , it was not until 1903 that membership in a county society constituted membership in the state and national organizations.

He was a member of the Assculapian Society of the Wabash Valley and its president in 1896; and a member of the AMA and served as counselor for the 8th district, belonged to the former Mississippi Valley Medical Society; the National Tuberculosis Commission; an auxiliary committeeman of the first Pan-American Medical Congress and was twice appointed United States Pension Examining Surgeon.

The doctor was a member of the Christian Church and was made an elder shortly after making his residence in Robinson.

Fraternally, he was a Mason.

Dr. Barlow contributed many papers to medical literature and was the author of "Day Dreams of a Doctor", published in 1898 by the Peter Paul Book company, Buffalo, New York. The story was given excellent reviews in leading newspapers of the country, and in addition, the doctor received numerous letters from physicians and literary men complimenting him on his work. Locally, Mr. Marion N. Beeman, Supt. of Schools, had this to say in a review of the book, reported in the Argus, June 30, 1898. .... "Aside from the fact that Dr. Barlow lives and moves among us, an exemplary Christian citizen, respected by everyone, and well and dearly beloved by those who know him best, we have to say that he need make no apology for having written this book. It is a masterpiece of its kind in its sphere. The medical fraternity owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Barlow for his able vindication of their noble profession. Altogether, "Day Dreams of a Doctor" is worthy a place in the most carefully chosen library, Dr. Barlow's book is available at the Public Library in Robinson.

Before completing his early medical education, the doctor was married in 1871 to Maria Athey who, along with their children, died in 1874. His second wife was Mrs. Sarah Smith Price, a widow of Dr. James C. Price. Their son, Cyrus Edgar, was adopted by Dr. Barlow and later became a member of the medical profession of Crawford County.

The Columbus Barlows were the parents of four other children; Lulu, Harry, Brodie, who are deceased and Mary Barlow Bell (Mrs. Donald), a widow, of Berkley, West Virginia.

Dr. Columbus Barlow suffered poor health in the last years of his life but remained active in his profession until the year before his death, which occurred on October 08, 1907 at his home on West Main St., Robinson.

The doctor's wife survived her husband 21 years and passed away September 05, 1928. She was a resident of Robinson for thirty-three years and of the county 86 years. Mrs. Barlow was buried along side her husband in the Newlin Cemetery.

The Barlow residence is now an apartment house owned by Mr. and Mrs. John Leach, whose purchase of the property in 1960, eventually created quite a stir in the community. While the building was being remodeled a box of human bones was found in a sealed off portion of the ceiling in the garage -- formerly part of the attic. This was an unnerving discovery and the new owners who promptly turned the "collection" over to the local authorities for disposition. Medical theories expressed was that the bones were probably specimens used by a student of anatomy," which opinion was later verified by the state pathologist.

Children of Columbus Barlow and Sarah Price are:

JAMES MARSHALL BARLOW5 (JULIUS4, HENRY3, JACOB2, CHRISTOPHER1) son of Julius Milford Barlow and Mildred Molly Stone was born October 22, 1826 in Missouri, and died May 06, 1917, burial in Mussel Fork Cemetery, Chariton Co Missouri.

He married 1. JULIA AINSWORTH c1865.  She was born cMarch 12, 1839, daughter of Iren/Evan Ainsworth and wife, Catherine, of Chariton Co Missouri, and died either February 1860, (Mortality schedule), or September 26, 1879, aged 40 yrs, 6 mo, and 14 days, (tombstone) burial in Mussel Fork Cemetery, Chariton Co Missouri.   (Information from the research of Sue Dixey

He married 2. SUSAN K. HAINES LONG, February 22, 1881 in Echo Missouri (name and date not verified).   She was born September 1851 in Missouri and died before 1910.

Sue Dixey writes:  I believe Julia is Julia A (Ann) Ainsworth. Based on the age of the oldest child, they must have married some time after the 1860 census, but closer to 1865 is more likely. I have not found an online marriage record for James and Julia. I suspect they married in Clariton county, because it seems she always lived in Clariton, probably born there, and there is a Ainsworth family in Cole at the same time so maybe there is a connection to these other Ainsworths.

MARY5 BARLOW (JOEL4, HENRY3, JACOB2, CHRISTOPHER1) Daughter of JOEL BARLOW and JANE HOBBS was born December 09, 1825, and died in 1903, burial in the old part of Hutsonville Cemetery, Crawford Co Illinois.

She married 1.) CASWELL JONES on April 30, 1842, He died on March 24, 1853

She married 2.) ETHELBERT CALLAHAN on June 27, 1854.

Mrs. Mary Callahan, who was the daughter of Joel and Jane Barlow, was born in Lamotte prairie, in the house now occupied by Wm. Davids, December 09, 1825. Her parents emigrated to Illinois from Kentucky in 1818. April 30, 1842, she was married to Caswell Jones, who was a merchant in Hutsonville, where they resided after marriage. Mr. J. died March 24, 1853, leaving one child, a son, Judge Wm. C. Jones, of our city.

June 27, 1854, she was remarried to E. Callahan. They resided in Hutsonville until 1861, when they removed to Robinson. A daughter, born to them that year, now Mrs. Mary Mercer, resides at the home. In 1859 Mrs. Callahan united with the Christian church at Hutsonville, and after their removal to Robinson, she was one of the principal factors in the organization of the church here, and for many years its most prominent patron and worker. She was not much given to society, but delighted in her home and its domestic duties, and in reading. She took pleasure and delight in deeds of charity, without ostentation or display, believing in the scriptural injunction of not letting the left hand know what the right hand doeth. She was taken sick the 15th day of June last, and during the nine weeks of her illness, the last of which was characterized by much suffering, she bore it with patience, hopeful almost to the last for a recovery, but when she became convinced this was impossible, a christian resignation and hope succeeded, and her consciousness to the last gave evidence that all was well with her. The end came peacefully Monday morning, 17th inst., at 2 o'clock, when unable to speak, looked from one to the other of the dear ones around her, and then closed them for the last with a peaceful smile, as the spirit took its flight. She leaves beside her husband, son and daughter, two sisters, Mrs. E. B. Hill and Mrs. S. D. Meserve , and three grand children, Caswell S., Will C. and Dorothy M. Jones. The funeral will take place at the home this morning at ten o'clock , services being conducted by Elder Cauble, of Vincennes, a former pastor of the church here. In compliance with her request the burial will be in the old cemetery at Hutsonville, where her father and mother, and others are buried.

Hon. H. C. Bell Gives Reminiscence of Stirring Times

Next to Old York, on the banks of the Wabash, the village of Hutsonville, Crawford county, has always possessed peculiar interest and has been surrounded with the most tender memories to me of any spot on earth.......I was in Hutsonville the day that Bill Adams killed Tom Bostick, on the grade south of town, and when he was given a preliminary hearing before James W. Wilhite, my wife's father, for the crime, Hon. E. Callahan, and Jim Barlow, as I now remember, were in the case, and of course on opposite sides, for I never remember of seeing these two Hutsonville luminaries on the same side of any case. Of course Callahan was a fine lawyer, even then, and Barlow was not much of a lawyer, but what he lacked in legal knowledge, he made up, at least before a justice of the peace, in cunning, courage and bulldog courage, moral, as well as physical and Callahan, then, as always from the beginning of the Civil War until in recent years, the leading lawyer of Crawford county, rarely got any the best of Jim Barlow before a justice of the peace, in the preliminary hearings, and in the little cases which usually, at least in those days, came before that judicial luminary of the township and county. You see Jim knew tricks and was willing to get down on them, which Callahan was loath to practice, and could not turn the sharp tricks which Jim Barlow could and would turn in a case whenever it suited his purpose, of the interest of his client to turn ..... And then, too, Jim was dead game, and he would fight at the drop of the hat, and which Callahan, not being a fight man, well knew, having bumped up against James on several occasions during their J. P. practice, and he usually let Jim have things pretty much his own way, relying for his final success, and which he usually in the end attained upon the higher court of the county on appeal. .....

Early History of Hutsonville Township and Village   Essay Read at a Teacher's Meeting Feb. 15, 1896    ---- by John B. Pearce ------

As newspapers are important factors in the civilization of a country, they too, must be given some attention. The first newspaper in the county was started in Hutsonville in 1852 by George W. Cutler. Its name was the "Wabash Sentinal". Mr. Cutler sold out to E. Callahan, then a young school teacher of our village. He changed its name to "The Journal" and after a little over a year sold out to a Marshall man. The "Crawford Banner" was the next newspaper. It was started in July 1857, by W. H. Rubottom. It suspended publication in about a year. The "Hutsonville News' was started 1914 by W.M.P. Springer who came here from Palestine. He only published his paper about six months.

Also of interest:    WM. P. MUSGRAVE CALLED TO REST.

Passes Quietly to the Great Beyond Monday March, 1

William Pierson Musgrave, aged 86 years, 3 months and 19 days passed away at his home about two miles north of Hutsonville just before the noon hour Monday March 1st.

Funeral services were held at Union Chapel Wednesday, March 3rd at 10 a. m., conducted by the home ministers led by Cyrus Guyer. Interment in the Musgrave cemetery. The large concourse of friends who filled the church to overflowing and who accompanied the remains to their last resting place bore testimony to the high standing and regard in which the deceased was held by all who knew him. He passed away quietly and without a sembalance of pain, just going into a peaceful slumber. At no time during his last illness did he seem to suffer.

Mr. Musgrave was a native of this township, his parents, who were North Carolina Quakers, having come to this country in the year 1818 and taken up a government land claim. When he was only twenty years of age, he was appointed a delegate to the Friends' yearly meeting in Dayton Ohio and made the trip and return on horseback. In earlier days he had hauled apples, wool and other produce as far as Chicago to find a market, bringing back salt and other things. Mr. Musgrave was one of the pioneer business men of the village having opened up a store on the river just back of the present McNutt and Musgrave Bros. hardware establishment. About 1854 he formed a partnership with the late Dr. Meserve of Robinson. Meserve and Musgrave sold drugs in a small building that stood near where the Farmers and Merchants bank now stands. After a short duration the firm dissolved and in 1861 Mr. Musgrave and Wm. Coffin, a brother-in-law, formed a partnership and started a general store on the ground where the present Hurst Bros. store now stands. After one year Coffin withdrew and Dr. Thomas Kennedy, also a brother-in-law of Mr. Musgrave, be came a partner. After a short time Kennedy withdrew and in 1864 W. P. Musgrave and John R. Hurst (his mother was a Musgrave) formed a partnership which lasted but one year when Isaac Lowe, father of Judge A. L. Lowe, bought Mr. Musgrave out and he returned to the farm where he spent the remainder of his days.

William Pierson, son of Nathan and Mary Musgrave, was born November 12, 1828 and was married to Percilia E. Coffin October 8th, 1849. They were married according to the custom of the Friends' Church in a public meeting with out license, they pronouncing the ceremony, this being the legal form of marriage at that time. To this union were born five children, Edward P., John E., Izora E. Cox of Robinson, Ill., Lura B. Woodard and William R. All of these, except Izora, with their mother preceded him in death. He was again married to Catherine J. Voorheis Oct. 24, 1864. To this union were born seven children, Nathan A., Flora F., Mary E., Edward V., Mahlon H., Eliza B. and Harry, three of whom survive being Nathan, Mary and Mahlon. He also left fifteen grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren.

His parents came to this country and settled here in the year 1818. They were one of the most prominent families in the early development of this country. The Indians were numerous here at that time and wild game such as deer and turkey were in abundance. Uncle William saw the country transformed from a wilderness which by the sturdy stroke of industry was made to "Blossom as the Rose", as we see it today. He had a birthright and was a life long member of the Friends' Church. He bore his first public testimony in Christ at the age of 17. This was unusual in those days of quiet meetings. By his simple, honest and upright life he was known by all as a Godly man. He was ever ready, both in public and private, to speak of the Master he loved so well. He had a profound reverance for the Holy Scriptures and was faithful to read them in daily devotion, night and morning, with his family often speaking upon such occasions that his prospect was bright. His earthly treasure was goodwill to all and high regard for his children who so kindly cared for him to the end. He leaves to his children and to his grandchildren a priceless legacy--an example of peace and goodwill to his fellow men.

History of Richardson Co Nebraska

Stephen Conlee Barlow, an honored veteran of the Civl War, one of the real "old timers" of Richardson county, one of the founders of the village of Dawson and for years actively identified with the affairs of the village, one of the leading merchants of the place and in other ways interested in the business life of the community, now living comfortable retired in that village, is a native of Hoosier, a fact of which he has never ceased to be proud, but has been a resident of this county since the days of the close of the Civil War and therefore seen this region grow from its original wilderness state to its present flourishing conditions as one of the richest agricultural communites in the great state of Nebraska. He has born on a farm in Shelby county, not far southeast of Indianapolis, the capital of the state of Indiana, January 15, 1843, son of Lewis and Ruth (Bishop) Barlow, both natives of Kentucky, but pioneers of Indiana, both having moved up into the Hoosier state with their respective parents in the days of their youth, the Barlows and the Bishops both settling in Shelby county in pioneer days. There Lewis Barlow and Ruth Bishop grew up and were married, establishing their home on a farm in that county, and there continuing to make their residence until 1846, when they came west and settled in Polk county, Iowa at a point six miles east of the present center of the city of Des Moines, back in territorial days. There Lewis Barlow built a log cabin and started farming presently building a log addition to that house and in that addition to starting a country store. As others presently settled in that neighborhood, the store being the center of the social life of the settlement, he laid out on his place, with the store as the center, the townsite of Rising Sun, now a flourishing suburb of the city of Des Moines.

He had to haul his merchandise up the river trail from Keokuk, then being the nearest extensive trading point. He gave to his new town of Rising Sun a plot for cemetery purposes and after his death in 1858 his body was laid away in that burying ground. He and his wife were members of the Christian church and their children were reared in that faith.

Stephen C. Barlow was four years of age when his parents moved from Indiana to Iowa and he was sixteen when his father died. He remained there assisting in the affairs of the store and of the farm until the Civil War broke out and on July 4, 1861, enlisted for service as a member of Company E, Fourth Regiment, Iowa Volunteer Infantry, and at the end of that term of enlistment, three years, re-enlisted, at Woodville, Alabama, and served until his final discharge, at Davenport, Iowa, August 23, 1865, having served for four years and six weeks. The Fourth Iowa was raised at Council Bluffs and went to the from under Gen. Granville M. Dodge, coming down the river. It was on this trip that Mr. Barlow got his first view of the beautiful valley of Nemaha. When the boat carrying the soldiers reached Brownsville the poeple of that vicinity turned out en masse and gave them a rousing reception. Mr. Barlow's first test under fire was at the battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas, and his last battle was that fought at Bentonville, North Carolina, this latter battle having been fought after Lee's surrender. He participated in the seige and capture of Vicksburg and in the battles at Arkansas Post, Chickasaw Bayou, Jackson, Champion's Hill, Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, and then on with Sherman's army in the Atlantic campaign, the battles at Resaca and Dallas, and at the fall of Atlanta was in the seventh and final charge and hand-to-hand fight which effected the capture of DeGrasse's great battery. When General McPherson was killed he was within two hundred yards of that spot. He then went on with the army on the march to the sea and thence north after the taking of Savannah; witnessed the burning of Columbia and fought Johnston's army all the way through the Carolinas, the struggle culminating in the final battle at Bentonville. Mr. Barlow then went on with his command to Washington, where his regiment was accorded the honor of leading the Grand Review down Pennsylvania avenue. From Washington the regiment was sent to Louisville and while at the latter place Mr. Barlow secured a thirty-days furlough which he spent in visiting his wife and her folks out here in Richardson county, he having married after he joined the army. Rejoining his regiment at Louisville he presently returned with that command to Iowa and was finally mustered out at Davenport.

Upon the completeion of his military service, Mr. Barlow returned to his home in Iowa and there remained a year, or until the fall of 1866 when he came to Nebraska, his wife's father, Ira Draper, and family being among the pioneers of Richardson county, W. F. Draper, his brother-in-law having entered the tract of land now covered by the village of Dawson. Mr. Barlow drove through, crossing the river at Brownsville, and settled on the Stratton farm on the site of the old county seat of Geneva, where he remained for a year, at the end of which time he took a homestead one mile north and a mile east of the present village of Dawson and there established his home and proceeded to develop his place. He helped his brother-in-law, W. F. Draper, lay off the townsite of Dawson and there started a wagon shop, which he operated in addition to his farming work and after the death of his wife in 1877 moved his family to the village. He built a new shop at the point now occupied by Cooper's store and operated the same four years, at the end of which time he sold it and then started a restaurant. Meantime he had married again and after operating the restaurant for a year he sold it and bought Chittenden's store, built and addition to the store building, enlarged the stock and continued in business there until the spring of 1883, when he sold to Allen Brothers and then erected a brick store building and started a hardware store, which four years later he traded for property in Humboldt. He then opened a general store and continued operating the same until his retirement fourteen years later. Not content to live retired, he presently started another store, but two years later sold that place and retired from business permanently, being now, to use his own expressive phrase, "the president of the 'Never Sweat Club'.

Mr. Barlow is an ardent schoolman and was one of the first members of the school board in the Dawson district, a position which he occupied continuously, the exception of one year, for thirty-three years. The first school in Dawson was started in a hall where the Stiles drug store is now located, and the school board presently erected a frame school building and after that structure was destroyed by fire, a brick building, Mr. Barlow having charge of the construction of the same. Mr. Barlow was present at the first Old Settler's meeting held in Richardson county and for twenty-five years thereafter held the post of director of ceremonies of those meetings having charge of the platform and program of the two days meetings which have been so memorable a feature of the social life of the "old timers" of this county all these years. When the local cemetery association was orgainized in 1890 he was elected president of the same and has ever since held that position. For seven years he was manager of the Dawson-Nemaha Telephone Company and in numerous other ways has done well his part in the development of the village which he helped to lay out back in the days of the beginning of things in that part of the county. For many years Mr. Barlow was an ardent Republican, but of late years has been inclined to be somewhat independent in his political affiliations. He was one of the organizers of the local post of Grand Army of the Republic at Dason, whose roster came to carry the names of forty-seven veterans of the Civil War, of whom but four remain, those besides Mr. Barlow being E. W. Buser, R.C. Allen and E.T. Levy. When Mr. Barlow came to this county, Indians still were numerous hereabout and wild game, including deer, was plentiful. He has seen these primitive conditions changed to the present well-orderd and highly-developed state of things that marks this region and there are few, if any, of the old timers of this section who have a more vivid recollection or more distinct impressions of the early days than he.

Stephen C. Barlow has been twice married. On March 4, 1864, he was united in marriage to Ruth Draper whose brother, W.F. Draper. as noted above, was the original owner of the townsite of Dawson, and to that union four children were born, namely: Eugene William, who was killed while herding ponies; Louis Henry, a successful ranchman at Gillette, Wyoming; Elvon Eldred, of San Diego, California, and Ada Celia, wife of the Rev. C.F. Heim, of Eddyville, this state. The mother of these children died in 1877 at Hays City, Kansas, while on her way to the mountains with her husband, seeking a change of climate for the benefit of her health, she then being thirty-one years of age, and on June 1, 1878, Mr. Barlow married Frances Marrium Ingram, who was born in Ross county, Ohio, January 9, 1862, daughter of Jeremiah and Mary Jane (Wilson) Ingram, also natives of Ohio, who came to Nebraska in 1859 and settled near Dawson, where the latter died in 1872. Jeremiah Ingram remained in this county for years afterward and then went to Oklahoma, where he died in 1913. To this second union, ten children have been born, as follows: Thomas Conlee Barlow, a noted musician, now living in the state of Washington, who served as a soldier during the Spanish-American War, serving for three years in the regular army, went to the Philippines as a Red Cross nurse and has traveled all over the world; Mary Ethel, who married William Heim, a railroad telegraph operator, now living at Phoenix, Arizona; Charles Arthur, a traveling salesman of Seattle, Washington; Stephen Francis, a railroad train dispatcher, of Vancouver, Washington; Florence May, wife of Ora Barnwell, a telegraph operator in Arizona; Mrs. Leona Ruth Price, who lives on a farm near Hastings, this state; Elma, wife of Prof. Abraham Lawrence, Jr., principal of the high school at Brownsville, this state; Mrs. Evangeline Ord, of Sheridan, Wyoming; Ralph McKinley Barlow, in the United States naval service, and Esther Loverne, who is still in school. The Barlow's are members of the --Marked out-- and have ever been active in local good works, Mr. and Mrs. Barlow for many years having been helpful in promoting all agencies having to do with the advancement of the common welfare in thier home town and in the community at large. Mr. Barlow has been a member of the local lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows since the year 1877 and has ever taken a warm interest in the affairs of that organization.

History of the State of Nebraska

The town of Dawson is so called rather by common usage than by exact accordance with the law. At the time of the arrival of the graders of the Atchison and Nebraska Railway in 1871, the town was laid out by W. F. Draper on his farm adjoining the track. This town was named Noraville, and to this day it has never legally had any other name, though, as already mentioned, it is now known as Dawson. To explain this apparent discrepancy, we must go back to the time a number of years prior to the starting of Dawson. In 1868 Joshua Dawson built a flouring and feed mill on the North Fork of the Nemaha, opposite where the town now lies. Shortly after the building of this mill Mr. Dawson obtained a postal service, and his office was naturally known as Dawson's Mill. Shortly after the laying out of Noraville the post office was moved to that place, but the old name of Dawson's Mill was retained up to a short time ago. The first Postmaster was E.C. Dawson, who transacted the business of the office until it was removed to Noraville. It was then taken by Mr. William Till, who was followed by B.S. Chittenden. Mr. S. C. Barlow, who now holds the office, succeeded Mr. Chittenden. The Post Office has been successively in the Dawson mill, in William Till's store in the town, in Chittenden's store south of the railway track and near the depot, band finally in Barlow's store near the center of the town.

A letter written by Minnie Love, daughter of Susan Catherine Barlow and George W. Love to Leona Muckleroy of Texas gives some family history

Colby Kansas Nov 3, 1983

Now I never heard of Susan B. Barlow or Louis C. Barlow. There is a daughter named Ella or Mary Ellen. She is among the older ones and she married and left Missouri before Grandma and Grandpa came to Kansas. She married a Frank Hurn, I believe his name was, and came to someplace in Nebraska to live. They visited us when we lived in Colorado.

Maybe I better tell you who I am.

George Love married Susan Catherine Barlow     October 30 I believe in 1895     George born Dec 11 1860 Susan born Nov 3, 1875

Children

Minnie I. Love born Dec 6, 1896        James Jeremiah Love born Dec 5, 1897       Amanda Charlotte Love born April 20, 1900
Anna May Love born April 25, 1910

I am the only one left of my family. The others have all passed on. I will be 87 years old on Dec 6 so please excuse my errors. My mother talked a lot about her family. Well I remember most of them but it has been so long it is only a faint memory.

I can remember Grandma as a large lady and Grandpa was so slender. Grandpa and Billy and Frank came to Kansas, filed for their claim then went back to Missouri and loaded his family into covered wagons and started for Kansas. On Nov 2, 1885 they were near Oberlin, Kansas and they stayed there for one day as long as Uncle Joel was born there. They went on to Oakley, Kansas and mother was 10 years old on the way to Kansas. When Grandpa left Kansas he went to Eight Mile, Oregon. Uncle Stephen married a lady by the name of Clara. I do not know her last name. Aunt Ida married a man named Egbert Young, I believe it was. Immanuel and May went to Southern California. Neither had any children. I do not know if they ever married.

Now Billy and Frank married in Kansas. Do you know where and by whom they married?

Now Grandpa built a sod house and of course Billy and Frank also built on their claims. Before Grandpa left here he had bought a 2 story frame house and moved to the homestead and they lived partly in it as well as the soddy. Now I remember that.

Now there was Barlow families around Heppner and also Ione, Oregon.

I have a picture of Grandpa and Grandma and I think 10 or 11 of their children. A photographer might take a picture from that one then make a negative and go from there. It would be an expensive thing.

I don't know where Uncle Frank and Uncle Billy went to when they left here.

There is one little child buried in Rockport Mo, Cemetery. In 1954 we went to Iowa to a family reunion of the Love family and came home by way of Rockport Missouri. and went to the cemetery to see the little grave. I don't remember if it was a little girl or boy.

Now Uncle Franks's wife was Lula Here. I sure do not remember a Florence Snelly. I remember Uncle Billy and Aunt Mary and Frank and Aunt Lula.

Hope this will help you a little. Oh yes one more incident. The winter of 1886 was a very hard winter and one or two people froze to death. On this particular day Uncle Billy and Uncle Frank walked to Oakley. That is the way people got around mostly or with a team and wagon. Evening came and no boys had come home. Grandpa got worried and he took lines (they were what you drove horses with) from the harness fastened together and to the door knob and he and the older boys took turns going out to the end of these lines and calling Billy Frank as loud as they could. Well the wind changed direction while the boys were in town and they missed it. They had gotten in the wrong direction when they got near the house and they finally got where they heard the Voice and they followed the voices and arrived home safely. One young man froze to death.

Sincerely,     Minnie Herren Rt #2 Box 100 Colby, Kansas 67

History of the State of Washington
Interstate Publishing Co 1904

Charles H. Breckenridge is one of Yakima's esteemed and successful farmers, who makes his home in the well known Glade settlement, fourteen miles southwest of Mabton. He is a native of the Buckeye state, born in 1856, to the union of Andrew and Maliala (Berfield) Breckenridge was born in Canada and came to Ohio with his parents when a boy.

Having married one of its daughters, he removed in 1895 to Iowa, where he was engaged in agricultural pursuits until his death in the spring of 1896. In 1862 he enlisted in the Union army and served until the last disloyal gun was silenced. Mrs. Breckenridge is still living.

Until he reached man's estate, the subject of our sketch lived on his father's farm, securing, in the local schools, a fair education; then he bought a farm and cultivated it for three years. At the end of that time he sold out and engaged in railroad work. After four years experience in this line he went to Missouri and resumed farming, remaining there until 1897. During the next three years, he tilled a farm in Nebraska, but the year 1900 found him in Clarkston, Washington. The following spring he filed a homestead claim to his present ranch and since that time he has been engaged in farming, stock raising and locating homesteaders.

In 1884, while a resident of Missouri, Mr. Breckenridge married Mrs. Anna King, who was formerly the wife of Samuel King. She is the daughter of William and Mary (Sherfey) Barlow, natives of Indiana and Tennessee, respectively. Her father was a miller. In an early day he settled in Missouri, where he and his wife resided until death claimed them. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. King; Arthur S., Mrs. Belle Noe, Mrs. Dora Forman and Mrs. Mollie Forman, the last three of whom are living in Yakima County. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Breckenridge are as follows: Andrew, born March 19, 1885; Archie F., December 14, 1886; Allen J., August 13, 1890; Jennie, November 04, 1892; Jessie, October 15, 1894; Eula, October 10, 1897; and Fern, May 30, 1899, the first being born in Nebraska, the second in Kansas, the next three in Missouri and the two younger in Nebraska. Mr. Breckeridge is affiliated with the Modern Woodmen. He is an active and steadfast Republican and he and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal church. His quarter section of land is all under cultivation and is a substantial testimonial to the industry and capabilities of its owner. Mr. Breckenridge is highly respected by those who know him and is a man of excellent standing in the community.

Olivia Omelia Bates:   Information given to me by Charles Barlow, a grandson    She was 14 yrs 8 mo when married

Washington State Death Certificate    Informant: Mrs. Florence Tweeten, Mabton Washington    Burial: Mabton Cemetery

Olive Omelia Bates Barlow gave this information to her daughter, Mable Johnston, when Lester Ray Barlow Jr. had to write a paper on his ancestors:

"My mother's maiden name was Ruth Covell - she had black hair, brown eyes, was 5' tall. She was born April 29, 1847, her date of death was not known. She married Martin Bates who was born September 29, 1839 and died April 24, 1879. He had sandy hair and blue eyes and was 6' tall.

He was a factory man who made matches. She was born in Marcelles County, Illinois. I don't know where he was born. Haven't any records of Ruth's mother.

William Barlow was born May 13, 1817 and died November 18, 1896. He was 5'6" tall with gray hair and blue eyes. He was a miller in the flour mill. His wife, Mary Ann Wolf was born February 15, 1822 and died February 14, 1855. She had light brown hair and blue eyes. She was 5'5" tall.

Their son, Charles William Barlow was born December 01, 1865 and died September 16, 1918. He was 5'11" tall and had brown hair and blue eyes. He was a farmer.

Barlow Family History, compiled for Fred and Hattie Barlow's 50th Anniversary

In 1898 Charles Barlow moved to Kansas and two years later in 1900 they continued their migration westward by train from Kansas to Lewiston, Idaho. From there the family moved to Washington by covered wagon, terminating their long journey westward in the Glade area about 12 miles southwest of Mabton, Washington toward Bickleton Washington.

The children attended a one room school located just over the hill from Mabton, Washington. The school was standing as late as the late 1960's. It was located just over the summit of the Horse Heaven Hills where the Alderdale road leaves the Mabton Brickleton Highway.

Lester Barlow said that his older brother Luther was buried there. Luther died at age seven from either swallowing a shingle nail or from the dye in blue jeans. The homestead stood many years unoccupied and the remains of the outbuildings can still be seen. (as of 1976 Michael Kluth recalls)

The family left the homestead in 1910 for Mabton, Washington where Charles operated a Dray business until 1915, hauling grain from the Bickleton area to the mills and railroad at Mabton. Mabton at that time was the hot place in the Yakima Valley.

Lester Ray Barlow (son #2) and Fred (son #1) worked in the business with their father. Lester loved to recant his "war stories" of hauling grain to town from the farms. The trip was an all day trip. He took delight in telling the grandchildren of how they used to kill big rattlesnakes by snapping them like a whip. Fred and Lester also worked hard hauling hay for a celebration in Mabton in which a hay palace was constructed. Charles then farmed near Given's corner on the Mabton-Sunnyside Highway.

Charles B. Barlow died on Sept 16, 1918 in a Sunnyside Hospital. The cause of death was from complications brought on by a bad appendix. The hospital building has been converted to an apartment house standing on the south corner of 11th and Edison Street. It was known as the Avenue Apartments.

Charles was said to have been quite a Bible scholar, learning the scriptures while plowing the field of the Glade homestead. He took considerable delight in challenging the Revivalist Ministers when they came to town. He was of the opinion that if you were going to quote scriptures, you might as well quote it right.
