News was received in the borough this morning from Miss Kettle Bar low of the death of her father, John H. Barlow, formerly of this place, at his home in Hartford. In the mes sage received 1t was stated that he had been found dead in his bed, death being due to heart failure. Although 1t was known that Mir. Barlow had not been feeling in the best of health since the last meeting of the Masonic grand lodge the report of his death came as great shock to his many friends in this place and Derby, where MT, Barlow had lived the greater part of his life, making Hart ford his temporary home when he was appointed grand secretary of the Masonic grand lodge. He was one of the most highly honored Masons of the state, a society which he as well as his father and grandfather before him were affiliated all their lives. Mir Barlow had a home in this place and had always retained his right to vote in the borough. For forty years he was superintendent of the shelton company's plant in this place, during which time he lived In Derby. After resigning this position he went. into the real estate business with P. J. Keeler in Derby, under the firm name of Barlow & Keeler. Mir. Barlow was the main founder of the Church of the Good Shepherd in this place. He also was active In politics and was elected warden during the years of 1893, 1894 and 1895 At the time of his death he was seventy-six years old. The body will probably be brought to Derby for interment.
