Rites Pending for Widow of Early-Day Osage Official
Funeral arrangements are incomplete for Mrs. Mary Jane Barlow, 92, of 1646 S. Cincinnati Ave., pioneer Oklahoman and widow of one of the first Osage county commissioners. Mrs. Barlow died Monday in a Tulsa hospital.
Born in Greensboro, Ind., she moved with her family to Kansas at an early age. She grew up around Caney, Kans., where she married John W. Barlow.

For a few years Mrs. Barlow lived at Chanute, Kans. She came to Tulsa in 1945.
Mrs. Barlow was a member of the Methodist church and previously was active in the Rebekah lodge at Pawhuska.
She is survived by three sons, Burel Barlow, of the home; Grover Barlow, Sperry, and Clyde W. Barlow, Bisco, Ariz.; two daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth Huff, San Angelo, Tex., and Mrs. Fern Craighead, Portland, Ore.; 22 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and six great-great grandchildren.
