Crockett Courier Crockett, Texas January 27, 1916 E.E. Barlow, Dead --Edward Eugene-- Mr. E.E. Barlow, 63 years old, died at his home near Crockett early Friday morning -January 21-. His death due to heart failure and was sudden and unexpected. Mr. Barlow had attended a funeral Friday afternoon. Returning home, he complained that he was not feeling well and prepared to retire early. Death came before it was known that he was seriously ill. The funeral was held at the English Cemetery, 10 miles east of Crockett, Saturday afternoon. Mr. Barlow was a member of the Baptist church. He was born in Alabama, but came to Texas when a young man. He leaves a wife, two daughters, and two sons. The daughters are Mrs. J.W. Brightman and Miss Willie Barlow, both of Crockett; the sons are Lee Barlow of Crockett and Perry Barlow of Palestine. Mr.
Barlow was a good man, true to every obligation and responsibility and
never shirked a duty. He will be
greatly missed by the community. The above copy is a true and exact copy of the obituary reported in the local Crockett Courier, January 27, 1916, which is housed in the microfilm collection of the library. I'm almost certain that E.E. Barlow is the son of Thomas & Talifona Barlow, who originated from the Isle of Wight Barlows. I also believe that Russell Elmo Barlow, Sr. was his grandson |

Man dies at Disney park (Why is this in Texas obits, I find nothing about his being from Texas, should be in Florida obits) The Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A part-time custodian at Walt Disney World died after he was swept from a platform by an elevated cable car and fell 40 feet to the ground. Raymond Barlow, 65, was on a platform for the Skyway in Fantasyland when the cable-car ride was switched on in preparation for the park's opening Sunday morning. Whoever switched it on didn't know Barlow was standing in the path of the cars, Orange County sheriff's Deputy Robert Larson said. Barlow, 65, grabbed the four-person gondola and struggled to pull himself inside. He let go when he was over a flowerbed, snapping tree branches on the way down, park employees told investigators. "He was looking for a place to fall. He didn't want to fall on the concrete, so he fell on the flowerbed," Larson said. Barlow, who was hired in September, died a short time later at Orlando Regional Medical Center. The ride, which stretches between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, was back in operation after the accident. "We are deeply saddened by what happened and our hearts go out to the family and friends of this `cast member,"' said Disney spokeswoman Rena Callahan. "Disney puts a high priority on safety." It was the first fatality for the Orlando park since October 1989, when a woman was killed in a boat collision. A 4-year-old girl died during a ride in 1995, but an autopsy concluded the ride did not contribute to her death. A tourist at California's Disneyland was killed in a Christmas Eve accident when a metal cleat ripped loose from a ship and hit him in the head. |
