History of Hendricks County Indiana, Her People and Industries and Institutions

HARRISON S. BARLOW - To a great extent the prosperity- of the agricultural sections of our country is due to the honest industry, the sturdy persistence, the unswerving perseverance and the wise economy which so prominently characterize the farming element of the Hoosier state. Among this class may be mentioned the subject of this life record, who, by reason of years of indefatigable labor and honest effort, has not only acquired a well merited material prosperity, but has also richly earned the highest esteem of all with whom he is associated.
Harrison Smith Barlow is a native of this county, having been born in Lincoln township, about three miles southwest of Brownsburg, on October 15, 1860, the son of Harvey Rice and Sarah Jane (Smith) Barlow. Sarah Smith was a native of the state of Kentucky and came to Indiana while young and it is thought possible that Harvey Rice Barlow also came from the same place.
Sarah Smith's father, whose wife was named Hannah, entered a tract of land from the government, this land lying near Danville, this county. There they lived for a number of years, the mother dying while Sarah was still a small child. After his marriage, Harvey Rice Barlow purchased land in Washington township and there he built a saw and grist mill, which was run by water power. He later traded this business and farm for a tract of land about three miles south of Brownsburg and there passed the remainder of his life, his death occurring in 1872. The mother died in 1896. It was on this farm that the subject of this sketch first saw the light of day, being one of a family of seven children. He remained under the parental roof until the time of his marriage, when he purchased the farm where he was born. About 1902 or 1904, Mr. Barlow sold the old homestead and purchased a farm some two miles southwest of Brownsburg, where he lived for some six or eight years, when he purchased his present farm of fifty-two acres something over a mile northwest of Brownsburg. Here he carried on general farming and its kindred interests. At one time, Mr. Barlow gave particular attention to the raising of fancy vegetables, always having an elaborate display at both the state and county fairs.
On March 15, 1882, Mr. Barlow was united in marriage with Emma B. Fogleman, a native of North Carolina and the daughter of William and Elizabeth (Ferguson) Fogleman, her birth occurring about 1865. Elizabeth Ferguson, her mother, was a daughter of Archibald and Sarah Ferguson. William Fogleman left his original home in North Carolina and removed to Missouri when Mrs. Barlow was a child of three years. They lived there some three years and then came eastward again, stopping in Indiana, where they located in Hendricks county, in the town of Plainfield. Mr. Fogleman was a carpenter by trade, and both he and his wife died when Emma B. was fifteen years old, she being one of a family of three children. After the death of her parents, she was taken into the home of William Hadley, a brother of Judge Hadley, and remained there until the time of her marriage.
Mr. and Mrs. Barlow have had three children, one of whom. Charley Ambrose, died when thirteen years of age. Gertie, a daughter, is the wife of Wilbur Lowder and they have two children, Herbert and Annis. Their home is about one mile north of that of the subject. The other child, Clara Willam, married Willis Pruitt and they live on a farm in Marion county, about seven miles northwest of the city of Indianapolis.
Politically, Mr. Barlow has always been identified with the Republican party, taking an active interest in its campaigns. He served as road supervisor for twelve years, and during that time did much to improve the highways of the county. His religious connection is with the Presbyterian church, both he and his wife being members of same and taking an active interest in the society, "contributing of both time and means to further the cause. His fraternal affiliation is with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias, in the work of which societies he takes a keen interest, and Mrs. Barlow is a member of the women's degrees of these orders, being both a Daughter of Rebekah and a Pythian Sister. She also belongs to the Woman's Relief Corps.
There is much that is commendable in Mr. Barlow's life record, for he has been found true to duty in every relation, whether of a public or private character, and while energy and untiring industry have been , salient features of his business career, he is equally well known for his uprightness and the honorable methods he has always followed and for his loyalty to any trust imposed in him. Because of his genial and unassuming disposition and his genuine worth, he enjoys a well deserved popularity throughout his county.
