Death of Mr. Henry Barlow
We copy the following obituary from the Portsmouth Times. The Henry Barlow, whose death is chronicled was a brother of Messrs. Wm. J. and Amos Barlow, of this place.
Henry Barlow, of East Fourth Street, died Monday morning at 2 o'clock, after three weeks of sickness. Death was due directly to heart trouble, induced by general weakness. Mr. Barlow was born in Darlington, Durham County, England, but with his parents came to America when 14 years old and grew up in and about Baltimore, Md. When a young man he came West, and while in Ross County he was married to Rosene Marshall, on January 26, 1847. They then went to Jackson where for a long period of years he was a leading and prosperous merchant. After the war the came to Portsmouth, where they have lived ever since, except for a few years spent in Vincennes, Ind., and a couple of years on the West Side. Here Mr. Barlow worked first for J. B. Nichols, as a cabinet maker, and latterly at the Walt furniture factory. He was one of the finest of cabinet makers. For the past two years he had been too weak to work much, and his enforced idleness, after a long life continued activity, chafed him not a little. His wife and four sons - Lewis, James, Gus B. and Kirk survive him. He would have been 79 years old the 22nd of next December.
Mr. Barlow was a member of Bigelow M.E. Church, and lived and died in strong and firm yet child-like faith in his salvation. Those who knew him, and had watched him all the years of his residence here loved and respected him, for in every word and deed there was visible the tender, humble, loving, Christ likeness that comes from constant spiritual association with the Nazarine.
If in the other world any crowns are brighter, any harps more tuneful, and the places more honorable, those who knew Henry Barlow are sure the angels kept the best for him.
The funeral was held at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, from the home. Rev. McElroy conducted the services, assisted by Presiding Elder Filler.
The floral offerings were very pretty and the family desires to thank the friends for them, especially Mrs. Dr. Titus, Mrs. Reinhardt, Mrs. Robert Barlow, and Miss Mary Atkins.
