HAROLD JOHN BARLOW, born 06 February 1892 in Passaic Co New Jersey. [DR,C, GB], and died 04 June 1949 [GB] Draft Registration
Geralyn Barry writes: I have much additional information on Harold John Barlow and his "circus". It was actually a traveling carnival called Barlow's Big City Shows. It ran for many years. We found clippings about it in old Billboard magazines (online at Google books). Billboard later became a trade publication for the music industry, but earlier, it was for the vaudeville, circus, carnival, etc. circuit. I have put the clippings we found on a webpage for Harold Barlow at https://patersonirish.org/Harrold/HaroldBarlow/ Through those clippings, and with followup research, I discovered that Harold John Barlow did indeed marry - to Vera Wickett of Kittanning, Pennsylvania. As far as I can tell, they had no children. She married again after his death in 1949, and died as Vera Tucker in 1977 (widow of Louis Tucker).
