Obituary of RACHEL BARLOW |
DEATH OF MRS. WM. BARLOW Last week relatives received the sad news of the death of Mrs. Rachel Barlow at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John Hodgetts, at Quinton, near Birmingham, in England, on August 18, after a very brief illness. She had appeared to be in her usual good health up to 20 minutes before her death, when she was seized with a pain in the chest. Some form of heart trouble, was, evidently, the immediate cause of death. In July of this year Mrs. Barlow, accompanied her daughter, Mrs. Kate Hodgetts, and her husband to England, their home, after the Hodgetts had made a few months' visit in this country. They arrived in Liverpool on July 30 and went directly to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hodgetts. When she left this city on her way to England Mrs. Barlow seemed to be in good health. She had known very little sickness during the more than 81 years of her life. Mrs. Barlow had long been a well known citizen of this county and the news of her death brings to all a keen sense of sorrow, for all knew her to be a woman of the finest qualities and of rich endowment in all that contributes to true womanhood. She possessed a remarkable memory and could quote many pages from the
writings of numerous authors. As a neighbor she was kindly and generous,
willing at all times to do her utmost for the welfare of those about her.
No one ever knew mother Barlow who did not respect her, and thus the
circle of her friends grew with the advance of the years as long as she
lived. In the year 1898 Mrs. Barlow and the remainder of the family came from
England and the family took up residence on the ranch. There they lived
for several The surviving children are: Arthur E. and Marshall Barlow, of this
city, W. H. Barlow of Belvidere, Miss Amy Barlow, now of Wichita, Mrs.
Marion Ericsson of Hallandale, Fla., and Mrs. John Hodgetts, who has made
her home in England for a number of years. |
